71-01 Park Avenue, Queens, NY 11365

The 111-unit, 3-story building at 71-01 Park Avenue in Flushing, owned by Francisco Chen, was constructed in 1985 and has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of heat and hot water violations, with emergency complaints filed in April 2024 and multiple incidents in June 2023. The building also faced several cooking gas-related emergencies in June 2023, indicating possible infrastructure challenges.

As of April 2024, the building has open violations including issues with door safety and security, such as defective latches and self-closing mechanisms at both the building entrance and the boiler room. Additional violations pertain to required safety postings and inspection certificates in common areas. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no infestations reported in the annual inspections from 2014 to 2024, and it has passed rodent inspections in 2010 and 2012.

Of particular concern are three open violations from April 2024 related to building safety, including missing or defective door hardware, while the building appears to have resolved various other issues through inspections and complaints. The housing maintenance code complaints from 2023-2024 suggest ongoing concerns with building systems, particularly regarding heat and hot water supply, which have required multiple emergency responses from Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). While most of these maintenance issues have received attention through inspections and subsequent corrections, the persistence of certain violations indicates potential challenges in maintaining building systems and complying with safety regulations.
