60-12 136th Street, Queens, NY 11355

The two-family home at 60-12 136th Street in Flushing, owned by Gui Yu Zheng, has experienced a series of maintenance and habitability issues over the past few years, with most incidents occurring in 2021. The building, constructed in 1935, has documented multiple emergency-level complaints in 2021, including water supply problems (December), mold issues (November), and appliance concerns regarding an electric/gas range (November).

Inspection findings from late 2021 revealed violations related to doors/windows, though other complaints from that period regarding window frames, ceiling paint/plaster, and a water leak with damp spots either resulted in no violations or had been corrected by the time of inspection. The property has a concerning pattern of unsanitary conditions, with multiple reports of mold throughout 2021, including a May complaint that led to an HPD inspection. Notably, there were also potential lead-based paint concerns identified during a September 2021 inspection that apparently warranted follow-up testing.

A Department of Health complaint regarding smoking violations was documented in June 2023, though this was administratively closed. While the building's violations and service requests have been mostly addressed and closed out by their respective agencies, the frequency and nature of the complaints during 2021 suggest a period of significant maintenance challenges for the property, particularly regarding water-related issues and mold. The Department of Buildings conducted an inspection in February 2022 regarding an illegal conversion complaint, which found no violations at the time of inspection.
