140-75 34th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

The three-story building at 140-75 34th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Jinde Huang and constructed in 1965, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past year. Most recently, in August-September 2023, multiple violations were documented, including problems with the ventilation system, presence of pests, mold, electrical outlet/switch issues, and a broken/missing window guard.

All of these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with violations issued for the ventilation system, pests, mold, electrical, and window guard issues. Earlier, in June-July 2023, the building faced similar problems with pests, window guard safety concerns, mold, and ceiling maintenance issues, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect some of these complaints at that time. The building has also seen multiple 311 service requests relating to various issues in both June and August 2023, with most complaints ultimately resulting in violations being issued or requiring further action.

The building's recent history from June 2023 to the present shows a pattern of recurring maintenance issues, particularly concerning unsanitary conditions, safety violations, and various infrastructure problems. While some complaints were resolved without violations being issued, such as a plumbing toilet issue in August 2023, the frequency and nature of the complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the property. The most recent cluster of complaints in August 2023 included both emergency and non-emergency categories, indicating a mix of urgent and less critical issues requiring attention.
