20-25 120th Street, Queens, NY 11356

The two-family residence at 20-25 120th Street in College Point, owned by Min Di Li, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, particularly related to heat and hot water systems. Between August 2021 and March 2022, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) receiving emergency complaints for both the entire building and individual units. Notably, in January 2022, several violations were documented for apartment 2F, including issues with excessive hot water temperature (148°F), defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, problems with self-closing doors, and various structural concerns such as broken tiles and plaster surfaces.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for 2023-2025, showing no infestations during the most recent and previous reporting periods, and previously passed rodent inspections in 2016. The property has seen some progress in addressing its maintenance history, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2023 and 2025 showing no infestations, and a permit for work issued in June 2022. However, several violations cited in January 2022 for apartment 2F remain open, including issues with the floor tiles, plastered surfaces, and safety devices.

Historical complaints about appliance issues, specifically regarding electric/gas ranges, were documented in 2021 and 2022, though these complaints were closed without inspection access being granted. The building, constructed in 1901, is classified as a two-story Class A structure and has undergone limited documented modifications, with only one permit issued in 2022 for unspecified work. The property management's response to maintenance issues appears to have improved over time, though the persistence of some open violations raises ongoing maintenance concerns.
