101-24 39th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The four-story residential building at 101-24 39th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Lin Cheung, has experienced a notable pattern of maintenance issues since 2024, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in late December 2024 and continuing into early 2025. Multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat/hot water issues, plumbing problems, and various unsanitary conditions including pests and mold, with violations issued by HPD that required the owner to correct these conditions.

The fourth-floor apartment has been particularly affected, with open violations noted in December 2024 for inadequate heat supply and defective safety equipment including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in January 2025, including issues with ceiling plaster, ventilation systems, and bathroom fixtures. The building's history shows recurring problems with basic services such as water supply and heat, though some earlier complaints were resolved without violations being issued.

Notably, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported incidents in the past five years according to the mandatory Bedbug Reporting requirements. The most recent inspection in December 2024 resulted in several open violations requiring attention to building safety and maintenance standards, including proper posting of safety notices and repair of various defective systems. While some complaints from 2024-2025 have been resolved, the persistent nature of these issues suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
