139-20 34th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

The 30-unit, 7-story residential building at 139-20 34th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Changbiao Zheng, was completed in 2016 and has experienced several notable issues over its operating history. Most recently, in 2025, there were two health department complaints regarding a day care facility.

The building faced significant rodent-related challenges in 2024, including violations for conditions attracting rodents and rat sightings, though it passed a subsequent compliance inspection in September 2024. Between 2020-2023, there were multiple inspection-related incidents, including a violation for illegal hotel rooms in March 2023, and violations for failure to file required benchmarking reports of energy use and display energy scores in 2021-2022, though these were eventually dismissed. During the building's construction phase in 2018-2019, there were numerous safety violations documented by the Department of Buildings (DOB), including issues with scaffolding, safety measures, handrails, fire equipment, and various construction safety compliance matters, all of which were subsequently resolved.

The building has had some maintenance and compliance issues since opening, including a series of day care-related inspections, environmental control board violations regarding occupancy and safety measures, and multiple complaints requiring DOB inspections between 2021-2023. Most recently, in 2023, the building received two environmental control board violations related to obstructed exit passageways and illegal occupancy, though the penalties were resolved. The building's inspection history shows a mix of resolved violations and some ongoing compliance challenges, particularly regarding pest control and safety regulations.
