60-23 Myrtle Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

The three-story, two-family house at 60-23 Myrtle Avenue in Ridgewood, owned by Pong Keung Leung, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past two years. Between December 2023 and February 2024, there were four complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding lack of heat and hot water, with the most recent incident in February 2024 categorized as an emergency.

While heat and hot water were reportedly restored following some of these complaints, two incidents in December 2023 required follow-up inspections that could not gain access to verify the conditions. The building, constructed in 1931, has had some maintenance attention over the years, including a documented violation from March 2022 regarding a defective metal cornice at the roof front, which was certified as corrected by August 2022.

Remedial work appears to have been undertaken in 2019, with multiple permits issued for exterior work, including plumbing and electrical modifications. The property has passed all rodent inspections, with the most recent occurring in May 2017, indicating compliance with basic health and safety standards. The building has a relatively limited violation history, with all identified issues having been addressed and closed through proper channels.
