61-16 170th Street, Queens, NY 11365

The three-story, three-unit building at 61-16 170th Street in Flushing, owned by Lien Tse, has experienced several notable incidents between 2021 and 2025. Most recently, an April 2024 inspection revealed an open violation regarding the required annual bedbug report filing, though previous years' inspections (2022-2023) had this violation closed. The building has faced recurring heating and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in November 2021 and January 2022, though both were subsequently resolved.

In late 2021, concerns about lead dust during construction in both common areas and apartments were reported to the Department of Health, with these complaints still listed as in progress as of October 2021. Additional maintenance concerns included multiple reports of slow water leaks in October 2021, which were resolved. The building's 2022 violations primarily focused on administrative compliance, including the need to post various safety notices in the first-floor common area, such as fire safety information and carbon monoxide detector requirements.

These violations were certified as corrected by May 2022. The building's recent bedbug reports for the periods of 2020-2021 and 2021-2022 indicated no infested units, with no units requiring eradication or experiencing re-infestation. A complaint regarding unauthorized work in an occupied multiple dwelling was filed in October 2021 but was closed with no violations warranted at the time of inspection. The property, built in 1970 and now classified as a converted Class A building, has demonstrated ongoing attention to regulatory compliance, particularly regarding safety notices and bedbug reporting, though some issues, particularly related to lead dust and heating systems, have required multiple interventions.
