71-40 160th Street, Queens, NY 11365

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 71-40 160th Street in Flushing, owned by Qiang Li, has experienced several maintenance issues since its construction in 1988, with the most recent concern being a heat/hot water problem reported in January 2025. This building has documented multiple episodes of mold and pest infestations, particularly in 2019 when multiple residents reported unsanitary conditions. The property underwent inspections that resulted in various violations, including issues with cabinet stability, appliance safety (gas range controls), wall conditions, and mold presence, particularly focusing on apartment 2A.

Specific violations cited in 2019 included missing or defective window guards, visible mold around bathroom walls and ceilings, and a roach infestation throughout apartment 2A. Additional concerns included an April 2019 violation for unsafe cabinet installation in the kitchenette and a February 2019 violation for missing carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2A. Since 2021, however, the building has maintained an apparently stable record, with no reported bedbug infestations over the past five years as demonstrated by consistent filings showing zero infested dwelling units and eradicated units.

The building's most recent Bedbug Reports (2021-2025) show compliance with reporting requirements, consistently indicating zero infested units. The property also maintains current Bedbug Reports through 2025, demonstrating ongoing compliance with this specific regulation. The most recent inspection violation from April 2024 was related to bedbug reporting requirements, though this appears to be an administrative matter rather than a resident safety concern, and was subsequently closed. The building's maintenance history suggests that while there were significant issues in 2019, particularly affecting unit 2A, these problems appear to have been addressed, with no similar patterns of complaints or violations reported in recent years.
