57-12 164th Street, Queens, NY 11365

The three-story, two-family house at 57-12 164th Street in Flushing, owned by Lil Ming Lin, has experienced several notable events since its construction in 1965. The most recent concern involves a smoking violation from July 2021, which was closed as addressed in June 2024.

The building has a significant history of issues documented in 2018, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2FL), where multiple violations remained open as of the latest records, including concerns about carbon monoxide detector functionality, inadequate cold water supply, and electrical service problems. These violations, recorded between April and July 2018, were serious enough to warrant attention under the Housing Maintenance Code, with some related to safety equipment and essential services. Additional violations from 2018 included requirements to maintain clean common areas, post gas leak procedures, and address refuse accumulation in the front building, though these were subsequently closed.

The building experienced two identical water supply-related complaints in July 2018, while a Department of Buildings complaint from July 2021 regarding unauthorized work/permit issues could not be investigated due to access difficulties. While many violations from 2018 were addressed, the persistence of some open violations suggests ongoing maintenance concerns. The property has also undergone a recent smoking-related violation between 2021-2024.
