AI summary · updated June 2026

The three-story, two-family house at 3-26 Soundview Lane in College Point, owned by Cheung Tso and constructed in 2007, experienced significant maintenance issues during late 2019 that warrant attention. Between October and December 2019, multiple complaints and violations were documented, primarily concerning water-related problems. Two emergency water leak complaints were filed in October 2019, with one classified as "heavy flow" that resulted in violations being issued. Additional complaints during this period included issues with doors/windows, electrical outlets, flooring, and the presence of unsanitary mold conditions. The building received several Housing Maintenance Code violations in October-December 2019, with notable issues including ceiling plaster and paint problems in both apartments, roof leaks affecting multiple units, and various maintenance concerns in Apartment 1 such as bathroom tile repairs and sliding door refitting needs.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inspections conducted in December 2019 resulted in violations for both Apartments 1 and 2NDFLO, specifically addressing ceiling issues, with certificates of correction issued in January 2020. While these violations were closed, it's important to note that one violation from October 2019 for Apartment 1 regarding ceiling repair remained open as of the last inspection record. The building's documented history shows a concentration of maintenance issues during this particular three-month period, with problems affecting multiple building systems including plumbing, electrical, and general maintenance. Since the available data only extends through October 2023, any subsequent maintenance history or improvements made to the property are not reflected in this report.
