134-32 Blossom Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The two-family house at 134-32 Blossom Avenue in Flushing, owned by Tommy Hom, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most notably, in April 2024, the building faced multiple emergency situations requiring immediate attention, including carbon monoxide detector and smoke detector violations, and urgent plumbing issues affecting both the bathtub/shower and toilet facilities.

The building also experienced pest-related problems classified as unsanitary conditions, along with concerns about refrigerator functionality and ceiling plaster/paint condition, though the latter four complaints did not result in issued violations. Additionally, there was a concerning incident in October 2023 involving a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their visit.

A subsequent permitted inspection in July 2024 related to a different complaint (complaint number 4955935) also resulted in the inspector being unable to gain access during their second and final attempt. While most of the 2024 complaints were closed within a few days, the pattern of both emergency and non-emergency issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The most critical safety concerns involve the carbon monoxide and smoke detector problems, which were classified as emergencies and required prompt resolution.
