71-57 161st Street, Queens, NY 11365
The 6-story, 11-unit building at 71-57 161st Street in Flushing, owned by Vivien Lau, was constructed in 2006 and has experienced several notable issues over recent years. Most concerning is the building's current open violation (as of April 2024) regarding the failure to file mandatory annual bedbug reports, a requirement under Section HMC of Housing Maintenance Code.
The property has also faced recurring heat and hot water problems, with the most recent complaint in February 2025 resulting in an HPD inspection that could not be completed. Previous complaints include an unsanitary condition related to pests (December 2021) that was inspected without resulting violations.
The building has experienced elevator-related issues, with two complaints in 2021 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service. The first incident in August 2021 led to an inspection that found no violations, while a December 2021 complaint resulted in a violation and a penalty of $1,562 for an inoperative emergency outside communication system, which has since been resolved. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of unresolved reporting requirements and service issues that, while not all resulting in violations, suggest ongoing oversight concerns.
