119-15 28th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 119-15 28th Avenue in College Point, owned by Philip Zhang and constructed in 1985, has experienced several maintenance and regulatory issues over the past few years. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water complaint in December 2019 that required HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for verification. A series of violations were documented during an October 2022 inspection, including issues with safety signage, fire safety requirements, and building maintenance.

These violations encompassed problems with self-closing doors in the boiler room, defective fire retardant materials, and the need for proper gas leak procedures. The building also faced a significant incident in 2021 regarding unauthorized modifications, with complaints about unpermitted work in the cellar level involving washer and dryer installations, though these violations were later resolved with no penalties imposed. More recently, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past four years (from 2021 through the current 2025 reporting period).

The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing consistent filings with zero infestation counts in all reporting periods. There was also a housing maintenance code violation filed in 2024 regarding the failure to submit an annual bedbug report, though this appears to be an administrative oversight rather than a health concern. While the building has had multiple violations over the years, most have been promptly addressed or resolved, and recent years have shown improved compliance, particularly regarding pest management.
