36-26 172nd Street, Queens, NY 11358

The three-story, six-unit residential building at 36-26 172nd Street in Flushing, owned by Rong Chen, was constructed in 2020 and has experienced several noteworthy incidents, primarily in its first two years of operation. The building's initial construction phase generated multiple complaints regarding illegal after-hours work in August and November 2020, though inspections on both occasions found no violations.

A significant compliance issue arose in March 2021 when a stop work order violation was served for non-compliant after-hours work. The building faced mechanical challenges in mid-2021, including a defective/inoperative boiler complaint in June 2021 that resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

This incident coincided with another significant violation related to the failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous ECB violation, though this was ultimately dismissed. Prior to construction, in September 2019, the initial notification for full demolition was accepted without issue. Following the series of incidents in 2021, there have been no reported complaints or violations on record for this building, suggesting improved compliance in recent years.
