31-12 Union Street, Queens, NY 11354

31-12 Union Street is a 6-story, 10-unit residential building in Flushing, constructed in 2008 and currently owned by William Wang. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with two significant incidents reported in March 2023 - one affecting the entire building and another specifically impacting apartment 6B. These incidents led to multiple violations, including inadequate heat and hot water supply, which were subsequently addressed with repairs.

In April 2023, several violations were identified, including the presence of an illegal double cylinder key-operated locking device at the building entrance, broken or defective marble floor tiles in the cellar, and maintenance issues in the 6th story public hall. Specific violations in apartment 6B included problems with the central heating system, hot water fixtures, and gas supply to the kitchen range, though these were certified as corrected by April 2023. The building has shown consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no reported infestations in any of the annual filing periods from 2019 through 2024.

A recent Department of Buildings complaint from June 2025 regarding work without a permit was referred to the NYPD, though the disposition of this complaint does not indicate a confirmed violation. While the property has experienced multiple maintenance issues, particularly related to heating and security systems, most violations from 2023 have been addressed and closed, with only two open violations as of April 2023 related to public hall maintenance. The building's relatively recent construction date (2008) suggests that while there are ongoing maintenance issues, these are not related to typical age-related building deterioration.
