64-16 Wehterole Street, Queens, NY 11374

The 16-unit, 16-story building at 64-16 Wehterole Street in Rego Park, owned by Liyi Zhu and constructed in 2020, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year. Notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints filed in November and December 2024 affecting the entire building and individual apartments.

There were also multiple instances in late 2024 of residents reporting missing signage, ventilation system problems, electrical issues (including outlets and power outages), plumbing concerns (specifically water supply), and one case of a heat/hot water problem in an individual apartment that required HPD inspection. The building's elevator system has been the subject of numerous complaints throughout 2024-2025, with four separate complaints filed between November 2024 and April 2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service," though some inspections found no violations or resulted in violations being served. The property has shown some compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings in early 2025 indicating no infestations or re-infestations between November 2023 and October 2024.

Earlier inspections and complaints from 2021-2022 included issues regarding debris, failure to maintain, and work without a permit, though most of these were either dismissed or found no violations at the time of inspection. Two violations dating back to January and May 2021 were ultimately resolved or dismissed by June 2023. The building's more recent history since 2024 has shown higher maintenance activity, particularly regarding heating systems and elevator service, suggesting ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure despite being relatively new construction.
