144-62 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The three-story, eight-unit residential building at 144-62 41st Avenue in Flushing, owned by Hui Li Ma and constructed in 1970, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly notable during the winter of 2024. The most significant concerns center around plumbing and sanitation, with multiple complaints and violations related to bathtub/shower issues in apartments 3A and 4A, including leaky faucets, which resulted in official violations in December 2024.

The building has had recurring maintenance issues, as evidenced by multiple 311 service requests between November-December 2024, including concerns about windows, walls, electrical systems, and mold, though most of these complaints were found not to violate housing laws during HPD inspections. The building's history shows some pattern of maintenance challenges, with a documented heat and hot water issue in November 2022, though it was reportedly resolved during the inspection.

Recent inspections in December 2024 resulted in several violations requiring remediation, including the need to properly post safety notices related to gas leaks, carbon monoxide detection requirements, and heating system access, along with a requirement to update information regarding the agency's housing information guide. Inspection records also indicate previous violations were addressed, such as floor tile repairs in apartment 4A documented in 2021. Notably, the building has maintained a zero infestation status in the annual bedbug reporting system for the past four years (2021-2024), with no reported cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any units.
