47-14 Burling Street, Queens, NY 11355

The 2-family house at 47-14 Burling Street in Flushing, owned by the Xia Shuang Mo Revocable Trust, is a 3-story residential building constructed in 1975. Most notably, the property experienced heat and hot water issues in January 2023, prompting emergency complaints to the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) on January 13, followed by an inspection on January 15.

While no violations were issued specifically related to the heat and hot water complaints, the inspection did uncover two significant violations at the building's first-story public hall that remain open as of October 2023. These violations, both documented on January 15, 2023, include the presence of household items encumbering the public hall and an illegal security modification involving a key-operated double cylinder lock on the building's entrance metal door.

The encumbrance violation falls under Section 27-2005 and is classified as a B violation, while the unauthorized locking mechanism, which poses potential safety concerns for residents during emergencies, is classified as a C violation under the same administrative code. These open violations, particularly the unauthorized locking mechanism, represent the most pressing current concerns for the property.
