114-15 14th Road, Queens, NY 11356

The three-unit, three-story residential building at 114-15 14th Road in College Point, owned by Xiaole Fang, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since January 2024, with the most pressing concerns being heating, safety systems, and pest management. Most recently, in January 2025, multiple heat/hot water complaints were filed, with at least one resulting in violations after an HPD inspection. The building has documented safety system deficiencies, including unresolved smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues (March 2025) for which HPD was unable to complete inspections. A significant cluster of complaints in early 2024 centered around heat/hot water problems, with multiple complaints being filed by different tenants, some of which were closed due to inability to gain access for inspection.

The property has undergone several inspections and received various violation notices, with inspections in May 2024 revealing multiple safety-related issues. These included requirements to post proper notices regarding gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and carbon monoxide detector requirements in common areas. Specific apartment violations were documented for Unit 3 in March 2024, including non-functioning carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as issues with door hardware. While the building has not had a reported bedbug infestation in the most recent (2023-2024) reporting period, there were three eradicated units noted in the previous period (2022-2023).

The last rodent inspection in January 2012 showed a passing result, suggesting that major pest control issues have generally been addressed. The building's history reveals a pattern of heating system problems, with at least nine heat-related complaints filed between January 2024 and January 2025. Other notable issues include problems with building egress (dumbwaiter door), various window and door maintenance concerns, and accumulated household articles in common areas that required removal. While many violations have been closed through corrections or inspections, the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly related to heating systems and safety devices, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
