61-32 169th Street, Queens, NY 11365

The two-story, three-unit building at 61-32 169th Street in Flushing, owned by Wei Min Tan and constructed in 2006, has experienced several notable issues over recent years. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in late 2022, when multiple emergency complaints were filed on October 24th regarding water leaks with heavy flow, mold (unsanitary conditions), and ceiling paint/plaster issues. Following inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), violations were issued for the water leak and ceiling problems, while the mold complaint was closed without violations.

The building currently has several open violations as of October 2023, including failure to file the required annual bedbug report, and non-compliance with posting requirements for building registration numbers, smoke detector requirements, and carbon monoxide detector requirements. Additionally, there are ongoing issues related to water damage and plaster repairs needed in the basement unit's hallway and rooms, as documented in November 2022 violations. The property's recent history includes a bedbug reporting period from November 2021 to October 2022 during which no infestations were reported, and a successful filing for the subsequent period in February 2023 shows no infested or re-infested units.

Two complaints regarding illegal conversion were filed in August 2019, though both inspections resulted in no violations being found. The building was inspected under Local Law 188/17 Compliance in November 2024, which also found no violations at the time of inspection. While the building has had multiple violations and maintenance issues requiring attention over the past few years, the most recent bedbug reports suggest effective management in that regard, and a 2024 inspection found no new violations.
