104-27 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The two-family residence at 104-27 41st Avenue in Corona, owned by Yanchai Chen, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past decade, with the most recent documented concerns occurring between late 2020 and early 2021. During this period, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests, which were notably filed on December 14, 2020, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection.

These pest complaints, along with a heat/hot water issue reported on the same date (also with access problems), remained open until May 2021. Additionally, there was a power outage incident in August 2020 that was investigated by HPD, though no violations were issued.

Looking further back to 2015, the building underwent two rodent inspections in April and March of that year, both of which resulted in failures for "Other Reasons." The property, built in 1910 and comprising two stories, has a documented history of basic service disruptions that could impact resident quality of life, particularly during the winter months when heat and hot water issues were reported. While some of these maintenance issues date back several years, their persistence and the inability of inspectors to access the premises during certain investigations suggests potential challenges with building maintenance access protocols.
