57-12 Xenia Street, Queens, NY 11368

The two-family house at 57-12 Xenia Street in Corona, owned by Xiuying Wu, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly between December 2022 and January 2023. During this period, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, along with reported issues concerning a water leak, plumbing problems, and window frame concerns - all of which resulted in emergency Housing Maintenance Code Complaints.

The building, constructed in 1910, is currently facing three open violations from an October 2022 inspection related to improper cellar usage, including illegal conversion from storage to living space with bathroom and kitchen facilities - a situation confirmed by Environmental Control Board records showing an active violation with a $1,250 penalty. Recent inspection attempts in 2022-2023 regarding illegal conversion and electrical wiring issues showed inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The property has a documented history of moisture-related problems, with multiple water leak complaints in September 2022, though no violations were issued following inspections.

Additional concerns include a ventilation system issue and unsanitary conditions related to mold reported in October 2022. While recent tenant safety inspections conducted in 2023-2024 resulted in no violations or compliance confirmations, there remains a pattern of access issues during inspections, with multiple Department of Housing Preservation and Development complaints in late 2022 and early 2023 noting inspectors were unable to gain entry to verify reported problems. Historical data shows variable results for rodent inspections between 2012 and 2017, with one failure recorded in June 2017 for unspecified reasons.
