25 120th Street, Queens, NY 11354

The 78-unit, 3-story residential building at 25 120th Street in College Point, owned by Lin Han and built in 1984, has experienced several significant issues in recent months, particularly related to heating and maintenance. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, with violations issued in January, though some inspections found no housing law violations. The building has also faced persistent maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints filed in January 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions (mold), water leaks, flooring issues, and cabinet problems, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for some of these complaints.

Housing Maintenance Code violations from late 2024 show open issues requiring attention, including problems with self-closing doors in apartment 1E and common areas, as well as incomplete posting of carbon monoxide and smoke detector requirements. More recently, in December 2024, the building received two Environmental Control Board violations regarding public access easements and broken decking at the north pier, with associated fines. The property has maintained an active bedbug reporting record, consistently showing zero infested or re-infested units between November 2022 and October 2024, indicating effective pest management.

Historical rodent inspections in 2011 showed mixed results, with one failed inspection for unspecified reasons, though subsequent compliance inspections passed. The building's heating system has shown particular vulnerability to outages, with multiple emergency complaints filed throughout 2024-2025, though some were closed without finding violations. While the building has a history of various maintenance issues, the most pressing current concerns appear to be related to heating systems, building safety violations, and the need for improvements to common area maintenance requirements.
