84-16 57th Road, Queens, NY 11373

The three-story, three-unit building at 84-16 57th Road in Elmhurst, owned by Chiu Ling Tong, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in May 2023. During this period, there were multiple emergency plumbing complaints specifically regarding toilet issues, an emergency hot water/heat complaint, and electrical problems including a power outage and lighting issues. Notably, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to the building for inspections in several of these cases, though there was one instance of verified correction regarding lighting issues.

Prior to this, in late 2022, there was another plumbing complaint regarding toilet issues that was inspected with no violations found. Going back to 2021, there was a fire escape safety complaint that was resolved through verification of corrections. The building, constructed in 2002, has had recurring plumbing issues, particularly concerning toilet facilities, which have generated multiple complaints over the years.

While the majority of complaints from 2023 were completed and closed, it's important to note that several were closed without inspection due to access issues, suggesting potential ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's historical complaint record shows a pattern of plumbing-related problems, though the resolution of the 2022 complaint without violations is worth noting. The relatively recent cluster of issues in May 2023, particularly including emergency service requests, represents the most significant pattern of maintenance complaints on record for this property.
