71-04 162nd Street, Queens, NY 11365

71-04 162nd Street is a 3-unit, 3-story residential building in Flushing, owned by Annie Ye and constructed in 2007. The property has experienced several significant events, particularly in late 2021, when multiple serious violations were recorded. These included unauthorized construction work, illegal occupancy, and code compliance issues, particularly concerning a purported fourth unit in the cellar with inadequate emergency egress and ventilation.

The Department of Buildings issued several citations during December 2021, resulting in penalties totaling $4,750, though records indicate these violations were later resolved. Between 2021 and 2023, the building was the subject of several emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding plumbing issues, most recently in early 2023, though no violations were ultimately issued in these cases. The property has maintained consistent bedbug prevention compliance, with no reported infestations or required eradication efforts in the annual reports submitted from 2022 through 2025.

A recent plumbing issue was logged in early 2023, which was investigated by HPD but not found to warrant a violation. The building's current status (as of October 2023) shows no active violations or complaints, and the annual bedbug report for 2025 confirms no infestation history. Historical records from the Dept of Buildings also show two construction-related complaints from December 2021 were closed without violations being warranted, suggesting improved regulatory compliance in recent years.
