137-27 Holly Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The two-family house at 137-27 Holly Avenue in Flushing, owned by Yu Lin, has experienced multiple maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in May 2022. During this period, units in the building reported multiple plumbing and safety concerns, including water supply problems, smoke detector issues, and problems with the electric range.

Housing Maintenance Code inspections on May 15-17, 2022 identified violations related to plumbing (toilet and water supply issues), as well as paint/plaster problems affecting walls and ceilings. The building also had emergency violations regarding mold and both carbon monoxide and smoke detector malfunctions, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment. More recently, the building's history includes several complaints regarding alleged illegal conversions between 2020-2021, with the Department of Buildings documenting concerns about unauthorized occupancy and unpermitted bathroom installations in the cellar.

These violations were marked as resolved, and a permit was subsequently issued in October 2020, though it's worth noting that the building's official classification is a 2.5-story two-family dwelling with designated storage areas. The property has an open violation from May 2022 related to the repair or replacement of carbon monoxide detecting devices, and there are multiple water supply-related violations affecting the second-floor apartment. While many of the earlier issues have been addressed, the pattern of maintenance complaints suggests periodic infrastructure and safety concerns that have required attention over time.
