147-14 45th Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The two-family house at 147-14 45th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Betty Chiang, is a 2-story building constructed in 1920 that has recently experienced notable maintenance issues, particularly concerning heating systems. Most significantly, in November 2024, the building experienced a heat and hot water emergency that required intervention from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though service was reportedly restored during the inspection process.

This incident represents the building's most recent and potentially concerning resident impact. The property has a documented history of food establishment-related complaints between 2018 and 2023, all of which were addressed and closed, including issues related to handwashing practices, bare hands contacting food, and both rodent/insect/garbage problems at a food establishment.

While these food-related complaints necessary resolution and oversight, they appear to have been properly addressed through normal regulatory channels, with no recent cases of this nature on record. The building's systems and enforcement history suggest ongoing monitoring may be advisable, particularly regarding heating infrastructure, though past food safety issues seem to have been adequately remediated through standard health department interventions.
