16-17 Bell Boulevard, Queens, NY 11360

The two-family house at 16-17 Bell Boulevard in Bay Terrace, owned by Nancy Chu, has documented several maintenance issues, with a particular cluster of problems occurring in December 2019. During this period, there were multiple complaints regarding heating problems, with at least two separate reports (on December 15 and December 22) related to inadequate heat or hot water, both classified as emergency situations.

Unfortunately, in both instances, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, leading to the closure of these complaints with a recommendation to file new complaints if the issues persisted. Additional concerns during this time included a broken or missing window guard (December 22) and a window frame issue (December 15), with the latter receiving an inspection that resulted in no violations being issued.

While these complaints were eventually closed, the inability to inspect and verify the heating system conditions raises some concern about access issues during this period. The building's records show these incidents clustered in December 2019, but there have been no documented complaints or violations in the subsequent years up to October 2023, suggesting an absence of recurring maintenance issues in recent times.
