171-01 65th Avenue, Queens, NY 11365

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 171-01 65th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Chun-fei Lee and constructed in 1987, has experienced recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems over the past year. Between December 2023 and January 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with three emergency complaints resulting in violations, including one specific to inadequate heat and hot water supply in apartment 3RDFLO.

The building also faced accessibility issues during inspections, with housing inspectors being unable to gain access to certain units during heat/hot water complaints in December 2023 and January 2024. More recent concerns emerged in early 2024, including an appliance complaint regarding the electric/gas range, though this inspection resulted in no violations. As of April 2024, there are several open violations that warrant attention: inadequate heat supply in apartment 3RDFLO, locked boiler room access issues, and inadequate hot water supply in 3RDFLO.

Additionally, the building has multiple recurring bedbug report filing violations (from 2021 through 2024) indicating non-compliance with HPD requirements to file annual bedbug reports. While some complaints have been resolved, including a December 2023 heat/hot water violation, the persistence of these issues, particularly regarding heating systems and bedbug reporting compliance, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's relatively recent construction (1987) contrasts with its significant number of violations, particularly regarding basic building systems and compliance with housing regulations.
