35-21 215th Street, Queens, NY 11361

The two-family house at 35-21 215th Street in Bayside, owned by Yanyu Liu, has experienced several maintenance issues throughout 2023, with the most recent concerns emerging in late 2023 regarding heat and sanitation conditions. Of particular note is a pattern of water-related problems, with six separate complaints about "heavy flow" water leaks filed between April and May 2023, along with additional complaints about door/window issues (both window pane and door frame) during the same period.

While these complaints were categorized as emergencies, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) repeatedly encountered access issues, resulting in no inspections being conducted for these water-related complaints, which were ultimately closed with instructions to file new complaints if problems persisted. In late 2023 and early 2024, the building faced further challenges, including a heat/hot water complaint in December 2023 that was closed after inspection, though no violations were issued.

A complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage was also recorded and closed in December 2023. The property was subjected to an illegal conversion complaint in December 2023, with inspections conducted in September 2024, though access was denied during attempts to investigate the complaint. Despite the closure of these various complaints, the pattern of water-related issues throughout the year, combined with multiple instances of access denial for inspections, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property, warranting attention to the recurring nature of these problems in the historical record.
