3-12 127th Street, Queens, NY 11356

The two-family house at 3-12 127th Street in College Point, owned by Jian Chen, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly during a concentrated period in 2018. Between August and September 2018, there were multiple emergency complaints filed regarding various problems, including mold, plumbing issues (bathtub/shower), unsanitary conditions (sewage), and safety concerns involving both carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. The building also faced violations related to door repairs and ceiling maintenance during this period.

Notably, there are currently unresolved violations from September 2018 concerning mold, ceiling repairs, and missing carbon monoxide detection devices in both the first-floor and second-floor apartments. Additionally, the building has experienced some concerning issues regarding possible illegal uses. In late 2021, there were two separate complaints about illegal commercial/manufacturing use in a residential zone, though inspections were unable to gain access to verify these claims.

Prior to that, in 2018, there were complaints about an illegal conversion and egress issues, with one inspection finding no violations at the time. While the bedbug report from late 2021 showed no infestations, the building's history suggests ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges that may affect resident quality of life. The property, built in 1960, is a two-story structure with two units, and current records show several open violations from 2018 that have not been marked as resolved.
