30-45 Linden Place, Queens, NY 11354

The three-story residential building at 30-45 Linden Place in Flushing, owned by Kin Chow, has experienced significant heating infrastructure issues in late 2023, with multiple Heat/Hot Water complaints documented through 311 service requests on December 6 and December 11. While the December 6 complaint was closed due to lack of access for inspection, the December 11 complaint was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in violations being issued.

A subsequent HPD inspection on March 15, 2024 revealed multiple open violations of various classes, including life safety concerns: Apartment 3 was cited for defective smoke detector and missing carbon monoxide detector, while issues were noted with the building's front entrance door self-closing mechanism. The building also received violations for failing to post mandatory safety notices regarding smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detecting device requirements, gas leak procedures, and heating system contact information in the common areas.

The property has shown some positive records in terms of pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported for the period of November 2022 to October 2023, and a passed initial rodent inspection in April 2011. However, the most pressing current concerns revolve around the building's heating system reliability and the presence of multiple open violations as of March 2024, suggesting ongoing maintenance and safety compliance challenges that require attention.
