37-04 Prince Street, Queens, NY 11354

The 4-story, 2-family house at 37-04 Prince Street in Flushing, built in 2006 and currently owned by Lin Jin, has a concerning history of unresolved boiler violations and multiple health service complaints. The most pressing current issues involve active violations related to failed low-pressure boiler inspection filings from 2018 through 2023, with six such violations issued between April and September 2023 that remain outstanding. These violations are particularly significant as they impact building safety and comfort.

The building also has three active Environmental Control Board violations from January 2020, all related to unregistered Weil McLain and Slant Fin boilers, each carrying a penalty of $3,125. The property has experienced recurring health-related incidents, particularly involving food safety issues, with multiple Department of Health and Mental Hygiene complaints between 2020 and 2023, including reports of foreign objects in food and spoiled food. In 2021, there was a complaint regarding pests, and a food poisoning incident was reported in February 2020.

While many of the 311 service requests have been administratively closed, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing concerns with building maintenance. The building received a rodent inspection in 2011 that passed, but subsequent pest-related complaints indicate this may not reflect current conditions. Historical complaints from 2019 noted issues with boiler operation and access, which appear to correlate with the current boiler violation status. Although a permit was issued in November 2018, the nature of the work is not specified in the available data.
