61-14 169th Street, Queens, NY 11365

The 2-family house at 61-14 169th Street in Flushing, built in 1920 and currently owned by Xiaofeng Chen, experienced significant maintenance issues in September 2020. Multiple violations were recorded across various categories, including safety concerns with smoke detectors, electrical outlets, and door hardware.

The building's first-floor apartment received specific notice of violations for a defective lock assembly at the entrance door, a missing closet door knob, and problems with a carbon monoxide detector and a loose electrical outlet in the kitchen, all of which were certified as corrected by October 21, 2020. Other issues documented in September 2020 included problems with windows and plumbing fixtures, though not all resulted in violations.

Prior to these events, the property underwent rodent inspections in early 2017, both of which resulted in failed compliance evaluations. In March 2020, there was a complaint regarding an illegal conversion at a different address (11365), which was investigated in September 2020 but resulted in an access denial for inspection. While many of the 2020 violations were addressed by October 2020, the building's maintenance history suggests a pattern of addressing multiple simultaneous issues within a short timeframe, as evidenced by the cluster of complaints and violations all recorded on September 3, 2020, and the associated emergency service requests.
