84-05 90th Street, Queens, NY 11421

The property at 84-05 90th Street in Woodhaven, owned by Tian Ling Chen, is a two-family house built in 1920. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2023 and 2024, with some urgent matters requiring attention. Most notably, in late December 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, plumbing issues involving a sink, and door problems, resulting in violations being issued after HPD inspections.

The summer of 2023 also showed significant maintenance activity, with multiple reports of unsanitary conditions relating to pests, plumbing issues with water supply, and wall problems - some of which resulted in violations, though others were closed without violation findings. The building has had persistent concerns regarding illegal conversions, with multiple complaints filed between 2019 and 2024, including three active or recently closed investigations in 2023 and 2024. Inspection attempts for these complaints often resulted in the inspector being unable to gain access, though a request for corrective action was issued in March 2023 for one of the conversion complaints.

Additional building safety matters were raised through complaints about gas hook-ups, though these inspections also resulted in access issues. The property's inspection history shows some degree of compliance with local law audits conducted in 2020, and a permit-related complaint from 2019 was unsubstantiated based on department records. The repeated nature of the heating issues, plumbing problems, and pest concerns, particularly in 2023-2024, indicates ongoing maintenance challenges in the building.
