59-44 159th Street, Queens, NY 11365

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 59-44 159th Street in Flushing, owned by Anges Yan and built in 2006, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years. Most notably, Apartment 2 has multiple open violations as of June 2023, including problems with window guards, door locks, and plumbing fixtures. These violations consist of leaky bathtub faucets, visible mold in the bathroom ceiling, and defective window guards that require repair or replacement.

The building has also faced recurring issues with mold, heating systems, and door-related problems, particularly affecting Apartment 2. During 2022-2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding mold, heat/hot water, and door problems, though inspections did not always find violations or could not gain access to verify the complaints. A power outage was reported and inspected in June 2022, and more recently in July 2023, there was a complaint regarding a refrigerator that was inspected but found to have no violations.

The property has maintained a consistently clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no cases reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2024. While the building is generally free of documented pest problems, the ongoing maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 2, suggest there are persistent challenges with building systems and safety features that require attention. The most recent violations as of June 2023 primarily focus on safety features (window guards), security (door locks), and environmental conditions (mold), which represent the most significant current concerns affecting tenant comfort and safety.
