58-27 83rd Street, Queens, NY 11379

This 3-story, 4-unit building located at 58-27 83rd Street in Elmhurst, owned by Xiaozhong Chen, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues since 2020. There were four documented complaints between 2020 and 2022 regarding heat and hot water problems, affecting either individual apartments or the entire building.

Notably, all of these complaints were classified as emergencies, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect any units during these incidents, leading to the closure of the complaints with a note to file new complaints if the issues persisted. In addition to these heating system concerns, the building had violations in 2021 and 2022 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by the Housing Maintenance Code, though these violations have since been resolved. The most recent bedbug reporting records from December 2024 indicate that the building has maintained a clean record over the past four reporting periods (2020-2024), showing zero infested dwelling units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, suggesting successful management of this potential issue in recent years.

The building's most recent administrative records indicate no active violations or pending complaints as of October 2023, and the property appears to have resolved its bedbug reporting compliance issues following the violations noted in 2021-2022. While the history of heat and hot water complaints is notable, it's important to emphasize that these complaints occurred under different ownership and management conditions, and the most recent heating-related complaints occurred over two years ago. The building, constructed in 1989, is classified as a Class A building under NYC building codes and has three stories, as is typical for its Elmhurst neighborhood.
