53-12 96th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The two-family residence at 53-12 96th Street in Corona, owned by Yuhang Lin, is a two-story, 1930-built property that has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in January 2023, there were two separate heat and hot water emergencies reported through 311, with both incidents being resolved shortly after complaints were filed. The building underwent a major inspection in May 2021, revealing numerous violations primarily affecting the first-floor apartment, including issues with mold (approximately 25 sq.

ft. at ceiling and north wall in the bathroom), multiple plumbing problems (including defective faucets, leaky shower body, and inadequate hot water supply), electrical concerns (defective lighting switch), and pest control issues (roach infestation). All these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by June 2021.

More recently, the property has faced scrutiny regarding potential illegal conversions, with two separate complaints filed in early 2023 (January and April) regarding 11368 (likely a related property address). Both complaints were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt" and remained unresolved as of the last available records. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about heat and water systems, particularly noticeable during the winter months. The property has also had documented electrical, flooring, and general maintenance issues, though many of these were addressed following the 2021 violation inspections.
