83-28 160th Street, Queens, NY 11432

The two-family house at 83-28 160th Street in Jamaica Hills, owned by Xiao Sun, was constructed in 1940 and stands two stories tall. The property has undergone several significant events in recent years, particularly in 2019, when an unauthorized construction project at the cellar level came to the attention of city authorities.

Environmental Control Board records indicate that in May 2019, inspectors discovered approximately 80% completed construction work including new full-height partition walls, a standing shower, sink, and toilet, which had been installed without the necessary permits. This led to a stop work order that was eventually fully rescinded in December 2019, coinciding with the formal issuance of plumbing (PL) and exterior work (EW) permits in October and August of that same year, respectively.

The building has had two complaints filed with the Department of Buildings in 2019, one related to illegal activity in December that warranted no violations upon inspection, and another in May that led to the previously mentioned permit enforcement actions. Since these events in 2019, there have been no recorded complaints or violations against the property, suggesting improved compliance with building regulations.
