51-70 71st Street, Queens, NY 11377
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 51-70 71st Street in Maspeth, owned by Zhong Yang, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns emerging in late 2024. In September 2024, multiple violations were issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) relating to safety equipment, including non-functional carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, along with pest-related problems that appeared to be pervasive (with multiple complaints about pests).
Other notable violations included issues with the building's bell/buzzer/intercom system and wall conditions requiring attention. In August 2024, there were additional complaints regarding various building systems and components, including a door issue and concerns about ventilation systems, cabinets, and flooring. The building's history also shows previous concern about unauthorized modifications, with a complaint filed in October 2022 regarding an illegal conversion, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts to verify the claim.
A more recent complaint in September 2024 regarding work without a permit was inspected and found to warrant no violations. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2021, 2022, and most recently 2025 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation during the reporting periods. While the building has demonstrated some ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding safety systems and pest control, it has successfully managed pest control issues and maintained its bedbug-free status for several years.
