47-20 98th Place, Queens, NY 11368

The two-family house at 47-20 98th Place in Corona, owned by Jian Weng, was constructed in 1925 and consists of two stories with three units. In early 2024, the building experienced several significant safety and maintenance issues, most notably involving carbon monoxide detector compliance and window guard safety.

Two violations were issued regarding carbon monoxide detector issues, and multiple violations were documented related to lead paint hazards in Apartment 2, including problems with window frames and door frames. The building also faced various maintenance challenges in Apartment 2, including mold issues in the bathroom (affecting multiple walls and ceilings), problems with plastered surfaces, and painting requirements. Additional violations included the discovery of an illegal double-cylinder lock on a public hall security door and various bathroom maintenance issues that required correction.

All of these violations were addressed and closed by May 2024, when certification was provided for compliance with lead paint hazard requirements. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development conducted inspections in March 2024 and documented multiple violations that needed to be rectified, including lead paint hazards, mold conditions, and various maintenance concerns. The building's most recent documented service requests and violations suggest that while significant safety and maintenance issues existed in early 2024, the owner has since taken steps to bring the property into compliance with housing codes, though the presence of multiple violations in early 2024 regarding lead paint, mold, and safety equipment suggests that these issues were impacting resident safety and comfort.
