147-25 Northern Boulevard, Queens, NY 11354
The 6-story, 146-unit building at 147-25 Northern Boulevard in Flushing, currently owned by Show Lain Cheng, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years (2024-2025). Most concerning is the building's ongoing struggle with rodent activity, with the most recent inspection in June 2025 showing "Rat Activity," following similar findings in July 2024 and July 2023. The property has also faced multiple inspection access issues, particularly in 2025, where inspections for ventilation systems, mold, plumbing, and window frame problems could not be completed.
Apartment 5Y has been specifically identified with several open violations as of December 2024, including issues with the smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, water leak, and pest infestation (roaches). The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints in 2024-2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" and "Multiple Devices on Property" complaints, though inspections often resulted in "No Violation Warranted" or required further investigation. The building has a documented history of heating and water supply issues, with multiple complaints regarding heat/hot water problems in both December 2024 and January 2025, though these were reported as resolved when inspectors arrived.
Water-related issues appear to be a recurring theme, with both slow and heavy leaks reported in late 2024, along with plumbing problems noted in 2025. The property has shown some improvement in managing pest control, with the bedbug reporting system showing no infestations from 2023-2025, and all 146 units being reported as "eradicated" in 2024. The Department of Buildings has issued several active violations regarding elevator safety features and building maintenance requirements, with penalties totaling over $41,000 between the elevator and building maintenance issues. While the building has maintained a regular schedule of rodent inspections, the continued identification of rodent activity suggests ongoing challenges with pest control.
