77-27 166th Street, Queens, NY 11366

The two-family house at 77-27 166th Street in Flushing, owned by Xiaozhen Zhu, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly between 2021 and 2023. The most significant concerns have been related to water and mold issues in the first-floor apartment (1STFLO), with violations documented in both 2021 and 2023 inspections.

In March 2023, multiple violations were recorded and subsequently addressed, including water leaks in the bathroom ceiling, defective carbon monoxide detectors, and visible mold conditions on bathroom ceilings and walls. The building also faced Interior Maintenance Code complaints in March 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions and issues with paint and plaster on walls and ceilings, though HPD inspections were either unable to access the reported rooms or found no violations.

Earlier, in October 2021, the property had documented mold issues in the sixth room from the east in the first-floor apartment, along with problems requiring attention to plastered surfaces and paint throughout multiple rooms, including evidence of peeling paint that required uniform color treatment. While the majority of the March 2023 violations were certified as corrected by April 2023, including water leaks, mold conditions, and plaster/paint issues, it appears there were ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to water damage and mold, which have recurred over multiple years. The building has a limited history on record from 2021 to 2023, with no significant structural or building systems issues noted, though the persistence of moisture-related problems suggests a potentially systematic maintenance challenge that has required regular intervention by housing authorities.
