138-11 59th Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The property at 138-11 59th Avenue in Flushing is a two-family house built in 1930, currently owned by Monita Lam. In November 2019, the building experienced significant heating and hot water issues that affected all units, documented through multiple 311 complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations.

Two emergency complaints were filed on November 8-9, 2019, regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the entire building. While HPD could not access all units during their investigation, they verified inadequate heat and hot water conditions in at least one apartment, leading to the issuance of violations. The violations specifically identified issues in the first-floor apartment, including inadequate heating (Class C violation), scalding hot water (149°F) at the kitchen sink (Class C violation), and a defective carbon monoxide detection system (Class B violation).

These violations were all certified as corrected by late November 2019. Since these heating and safety issues were addressed and closed out in 2019, there have been no further documented complaints or violations in the available records through 2023. The building's documented incidents highlight a concerning period of heating and safety system challenges in late 2019, though these issues appear to have been resolved based on subsequent violation certification.
