114-71 Dalian Court, Queens, NY 11356

This three-story, two-family house at 114-71 Dalian Court in College Point, owned by Yong Chen and constructed in 2001, has experienced several concerning safety and access issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2025, the NYC Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) agency received urgent safety complaints regarding non-functional carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though inspection attempts were unsuccessful due to access issues, resulting in the cases being closed without resolution.

These safety concerns were also documented in Housing Maintenance Code Complaints under emergency status. The Department of Buildings has recorded multiple access-related challenges in investigating potential illegal conversions and egress safety concerns at the property.

In May 2025, two separate complaints were filed (one regarding an alleged illegal conversion and another about egress issues involving locked or blocked exits), but both cases were closed with inspectors unable to gain access on their second and final attempts. A similar pattern occurred with a previous illegal conversion complaint from May 2023, which also ended in August 2024 with inspectors unable to gain access. While the building is classified as a two-family house, these repeated complaints and inspection failures regarding safety equipment and potential illegal modifications suggest ongoing access and compliance concerns that have persisted over multiple years.
