76-39 85th Road, Queens, NY 11421

The two-family house at 76-39 85th Road in Woodhaven, owned by Zi Tian Pan, has a documented history of heating-related issues, most notably a cluster of complaints in December 2019 regarding inadequate heat and hot water. These complaints, which affected at least one first-floor apartment, triggered inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) that resulted in official violations, though these were subsequently closed after corrections were made.

The building has also experienced persistent concerns about unauthorized modifications, with three separate illegal conversion complaints filed between July 2019 and October 2021, all associated with the same address but differing slightly in street number representation (11421). All three of these conversion complaints were marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt" during inspections, and they were officially closed in 2020-2022.

The property, a two-story structure built in 1920, has no recorded building violations or major incidents in the past three years (2022-2025), suggesting a period of relative stability following the earlier heating system issues. The most recent recorded service request prior to October 2023 was a non-residential heat complaint from January 2019 that was administratively closed in June 2024. While the building's age and history of heating problems might raise concerns, it's worth noting that many of the documented issues occurred in 2019, with relatively few recent complaints on record, though this should be interpreted with caution given the potential for unreported issues.
