42-61 Saull Street, Queens, NY 11355

The 5-story residential building at 42-61 Saull Street in Flushing, owned by Xiong Lin and completed in 2022, has experienced several concerning issues in recent months, particularly in June 2025 when two power outages occurred within one week, prompting multiple HPD inspections. The first outage resulted in an uncompleted inspection, while the second led to violations being issued that the property owner was required to address.

Prior to these incidents, there were two complaints in March 2025 regarding an alleged illegal conversion of the property, though one was closed without any violations being found during the May 2 inspection. The building's construction history includes a penalty in February 2023 related to an expired construction fence permit, which was resolved with a $3,125 fine.

The property underwent rodent inspections in early 2023, with initial findings of rat activity in February followed by a compliance inspection in March that passed. While these inspections suggest some previous pest control issues, the more pressing current concerns relate to the electrical system, as evidenced by the recent outages and associated violations. The building, which contains 8 units and was designated as a Class A building upon completion, has been subject to typical post-construction monitoring, including rodent inspections and responses to various complaints, though the power outage incidents represent the most significant ongoing maintenance issue as of mid-2025.
