55-10 138th Street, Queens, NY 11355

The two-family house at 55-10 138th Street in Flushing, owned by Gan Chen, has experienced several recurring issues over the past five years, with the most significant problem being mold. Four separate mold-related complaints were filed between 2019 and 2021, all of which were classified as emergency situations by the Housing Maintenance Code, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions in each case.

Additional maintenance concerns included a heat/hot water issue in February 2019 that was reportedly resolved upon inspection, and an electric/gas range problem in March 2021 that was also marked as non-emergency with similar access issues for inspection. The building's recent record shows no reported bedbug infestations or incidents over the past four years, with official filings from 2021 through the current period (2024-2025) indicating zero infested or eradicated units, suggesting effective pest management during this time.

The property, constructed in 1945 and consisting of two stories, has had consistent challenges with access for inspection purposes when complaints were made, as evidenced by multiple closed cases where conditions could not be verified. While the building's most pressing issues appear to have subsided in recent years, the historical pattern of mold complaints and maintenance problems should be noted.
