42-97 Crommelin Street, Queens, NY 11355

42-97 Crommelin Street is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building in Flushing, constructed in 1970 and currently owned by Rong Guo. The building has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in mid-2022, when multiple complaints were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding heavy water leaks, pests, and mold.

These complaints, which included both emergency and non-emergency violations, were closed due to lack of access for inspection, with a recommendation to file new complaints if problems persisted. The building has also faced ongoing regulatory compliance issues, as evidenced by four consecutive open violations between 2021 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) § HMC. These violations remain unresolved as of the latest available data.

In addition, there was a complaint in late 2022 regarding illegal hotel rooms in the residential building, though this investigation was closed due to access denial on two attempts in November 2022. The building's recent history raises concerns about both resident comfort and regulatory compliance, with particular attention needed to the persistent bedbug report violation and the unfinished investigation into hotel room usage. The most recent inspection data, dated April 2024, indicates at least one open violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though no current status date is specified.
