41-16 158th Street, Queens, NY 11358

The three-story residential building at 41-16 158th Street in Flushing, owned by Lingfu Lin, has maintained consistent records over recent years, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024. The property, built in 1990 and classified as HEREAFTER ERECTED CLASS A with three units, experienced a significant incident in September 2021 involving a heavy water leak, which was inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development with no violations issued.

A comprehensive inspection on September 2, 2021, revealed multiple violations that were subsequently addressed, including safety requirements regarding gas leak protocols, smoke detector maintenance, and door self-closing mechanisms. The inspection history indicates several compliance issues related to safety regulations and building code requirements, including the illegal installation of double key cylinder locks at various access points, the need for proper notification systems regarding gas leaks and smoke detector requirements, and the presence of unauthorized cooking facilities in the cellar apartment.

Most notably, there was an investigation into unauthorized cellar apartment usage, which was documented as an occupancy violation. A persistent issue documented in September 2021 involved a visible mold condition in the cellar area, which was classified as a Class B violation. While all these violations were eventually closed, the inspection history suggests a pattern of maintenance and compliance challenges that were addressed as part of regular regulatory oversight.
