18-41 123rd Street, Queens, NY 11356

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 18-41 123rd Street in College Point, owned by Jack Ren, has been the subject of several Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) violations, with the most recent inspection occurring on August 8, 2024. This inspection revealed multiple safety and compliance issues, including defective self-closing doors at both the building entrance and basement boiler room, as well as an individual apartment (2F) at the second story.

The building was also cited for various administrative and maintenance code violations, including the need for proper signage related to carbon monoxide detectors, gas leak procedures, smoke detector requirements, and the posting of building registration numbers. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past three years, including the current reporting period from November 2023 to October 2024, and in the previous period from November 2022 to October 2023.

The property, constructed in 1967 and classified as a Class A multiple dwelling, has demonstrated attention to resolving violations, as evidenced by their "Closed" status. Several of the August 2024 violations were subsequently certified as corrected by October 24, 2024, including the completion of required notice frames, registration number posting, and various safety notice requirements in the building's common areas. While most violations appear to be administrative in nature and have been addressed, the recurring issues with self-closing doors in multiple locations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that could affect building security and safety compliance.
