20-17 College Point Blvd, Queens, NY 11356

The two-family house at 20-17 College Point Boulevard, owned by Vanessa Ip, is a two-story residential building constructed in 1930 in the College Point neighborhood. The building's recent history reveals several concerning patterns, particularly during the winter of late 2021.

In December 2021, complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water, as well as unsanitary conditions involving pests, though inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to the units for inspection in both cases. These complaints were officially logged as both emergency and non-emergency housing maintenance issues, with a closing date of December 27, 2022, though this extended resolution timeline raises questions about the timeliness of maintenance responses.

More recently, in June 2023, the building received a violation from the Department of Buildings for failure to file the 2020 External Low Pressure Inspection, which was subsequently dismissed in August 2023. While this violation was ultimately dismissed, it indicates a lapse in compliance with building safety inspection requirements. The documented history, particularly the heating and pest issues from late 2021, suggests past challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort, though there have been no reported complaints or violations recorded in 2022 or 2023, as of October 2023.
