146-08 25th Road, Queens, NY 11354

The two-family house at 146-08 25th Road in Flushing, owned by Zhijun Zhao and constructed in 1960, has a concerning pattern of building code violations over the past several years, with the most recent activity focusing on alleged illegal conversions. Since 2021, there have been multiple complaints about unauthorized modifications of the building's layout, with three of the five illegal conversion complaints (in 2021, 2024, and 2025) remaining unresolved due to inspectors being unable to gain access during their attempts.

The building's compliance history also raises safety concerns, as evidenced by two gas-related complaints in 2019 and 2024 regarding potentially illegal or defective gas hook-ups and piping, though these were ultimately closed with some resolution, including a violation served in 2019. Most notably, between October 2024 and March 2025, there were three separate complaints (one of which remains active as of March 2025) regarding the building's Certificate of Occupancy status, suggesting possible discrepancies between the building's approved use and its current configuration.

All three of these complaints, along with two illegal conversion complaints filed in 2024, were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt." The building's inspection record reveals a consistent pattern of access issues preventing proper evaluation of the reported violations. While some earlier complaints from 2019 and 2021 were resolved in one form or another, the recent cluster of complaints and the inability to conduct proper inspections raises ongoing concerns about the building's compliance with current safety and occupancy standards.
