57-27 Van Doren Street, Queens, NY 11368

This four-story, three-unit residential building at 57-27 Van Doren Street in Corona, owned by Dan Hui Lu, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2009. Most notably, there were two emergency heat and hot water complaints in early 2023 (February 22 and March 7), though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the apartments.

The building is currently facing an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report, though this violation appears to be somewhat routine as similar notices were issued and subsequently closed in 2021, 2022, and 2023. However, historical bedbug reporting from 2021 through 2023 shows consistently reported figures of zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management.

The building's history includes two failed rodent inspections in 2012, suggesting early pest control challenges. While there have been no recent documented issues with rodent infestations or bedbugs, the pattern of bedbug violation notices and the recent heat/hot water complaints could indicate ongoing maintenance monitoring needs. The property has not been reported for any heat or hot water issues since the March 2023 complaints, though these were not directly investigated due to access issues, and no other major systemic problems are currently on record.
