136-21 Latimer Place, Queens, NY 11354

The six-story, 55-unit building at 136-21 Latimer Place in Flushing, owned by Hung Quoc Truong, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2013, with some recurring problems. Most recently, in October 2023, there were multiple complaints about pest infestations, including mice and roaches, particularly affecting apartment 6G, for which violations were issued.

The building has a concerning history of undisclosed access issues during inspections, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2020 and 2022 regarding heat and hot water problems, where inspectors were unable to gain entry to verify conditions. The property has also faced regulatory compliance challenges, including active violations regarding the failure to submit required Annual Energy Reports (EER) for 2022 and 2023, as well as a current C-class violation from October 2023 regarding the need to address ongoing pest infestations.

While the building's bedbug report filings from 2022 through 2024 show no recorded infestations, the recent pest issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. Historical records from 2020 indicate a series of emergency complaints related to plumbing and heating systems, though many of these issues were resolved following inspections. The building has previously received violations for various safety and maintenance requirements, including the need to replace broken glass panes in doors and comply with carbon monoxide detector requirements, though many of these were subsequently closed after correction.
