140-20 Cherry Ave, Queens, NY 11355

The six-story, 12-unit building at 140-20 Cherry Avenue in Flushing, owned by Anne Liu and constructed in 2017, has experienced several significant events throughout its relatively short history. Most recently, in July 2024, a non-emergency water leak complaint was filed and subsequently closed in September 2024.

The building's construction period in 2020 was marked by multiple construction safety compliance actions, with several Stop Work Orders being issued and then fully rescinded between January and August 2020, indicating some initial challenges with construction safety protocols. During this period, there were also complaints regarding site conditions endangering workers and issues with scaffolding, though inspections generally found no violations warranting penalties. Post-construction, the building has had several complaints related to potential illegal hotel rooms, though these were either closed due to insufficient information or resulted in no violations being found upon inspection.

A notably serious issue occurred in 2019 when the building received a violation for failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violation, though this was ultimately dismissed in April 2021 after the proper corrections were certified and the associated fees were paid. While the building has had its share of complaints and violations, most have been resolved promptly, with no recent complaints suggesting ongoing systemic issues. The most recent documented building complaint dates back to 2024, indicating fewer complaints in recent years compared to the construction period and immediate post-construction phase.
