21-18 146th Street, Queens, NY 11357

This two-family house at 21-18 146th Street in Whitestone, owned by Mei Ha, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 2007, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2023. The building, which is two stories tall, has faced three documented complaints in recent years, including a ventilation system issue in July 2023 that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations being issued.

Earlier in 2023, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions related to pests in May, but inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct an inspection. In 2021, there was an emergency electrical issue regarding lighting that was promptly addressed within four days of the complaint.

A notable violation was recorded in May 2023, when HPD cited the property for an illegally installed double cylinder key-operated lock on the lot-line gate from the street yard, which was classified as a Class C violation. While this violation was certified as corrected by May 22, 2023, it's worth noting that the building's recent history shows a recurring pattern of ventilation and pest-related issues, along with isolated incidents of electrical problems. The property has generally responded to these maintenance issues, with most complaints being resolved within reasonable timeframes, though some required re-filing for proper inspection access.
