61-40 146th Street, Queens, NY 11367

The property at 61-40 146th Street in Flushing is a two-family structure built in 1950, currently owned by Jia Fei Shi. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, most notably in 2025 when multiple complaints were filed simultaneously regarding water leaks (both slow leaks and damp spots) and unsanitary conditions related to pests.

While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) investigated these complaints, their inspections reportedly found no violations of housing laws, though violations were issued for some pest-related complaints. These recent issues coincide with several open Housing Maintenance Code violations from January 2021, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment, including problems with leaking ceilings in closets, broken plaster surfaces, and a mold condition on the walls and ceiling of a closet that requires tracing and repair of the source. Looking back over the building's recent history, there have been several water-related incidents, including a heavy flow leak reported in December 2020 that resulted in HPD violations.

Additionally, two indoor air quality complaints were filed with the Department of Health in June 2019. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent issues with water intrusion and pest management, with multiple complaints spanning several years. While many of the recent complaints from 2025 have been closed, the presence of open violations from 2021 raises concerns about the resolution of these longstanding issues.
