59-31 69th Place, Queens, NY 11378

The 2-family residential building at 59-31 69th Place in Maspeth, currently owned by Lingxin Xie, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2024. This 1925 structure has faced recurring sanitation challenges, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage, with three separate complaints filed between August 6 and August 16, 2024, two of which resulted in Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations, while another was closed without violations.

These sanitary concerns followed a 2019 incident involving standing water from a container exceeding five gallons, though no resolution details were recorded for that case. Of particular importance are three complaints filed in May 2024 regarding potential illegal activities at the property, specifically concerning illegal conversion and unauthorized commercial or manufacturing use in a residential zone.

Unfortunately, in all three cases (complaint numbers 4960987, 4960986, and 4952371), inspectors were unable to gain access to the property during their scheduled investigations, with two marked as "2nd Final Attempt" and one as "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt." While these complaints were officially marked as closed (with the illegal commercial use complaint having a disposition date of October 22, 2024), the inability of inspectors to access the property raises questions about the verification of these potential violations. The building's maintenance history also includes three HPD complaints in August 2024 specifically related to garbage and recycling storage conditions, suggesting ongoing challenges with waste management at the property.
