85-19 88th Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

The two-family house at 85-19 88th Avenue in Woodhaven, owned by Dongbiao Hu and built in 1901, has experienced significant maintenance issues, particularly during early 2022. A cluster of complaints filed on February 9, 2022, ranging from unsanitary conditions (including mold and pests) to infrastructure problems (water leaks, electrical issues, and heating system failures), were all closed without inspection due to lack of access.

These complaints were further documented through Housing Maintenance Code complaints, with similar issues recorded for unit 1STFLO, including a 135°F hot water temperature violation, mouse infestation, water leaks, defective plastered surfaces, and mold presence in the bathroom ceiling, although these violations were subsequently closed or certified. An inspection conducted on November 8, 2021, revealed multiple issues in the 1STFLO apartment, including problems with water leaks affecting multiple rooms and fixtures, defective plaster and paint conditions, and various repair needs. While these violations were addressed and closed, the building continued to experience problems, as evidenced by 311 service requests.

In February 2022, there were complaints about window and door frames, electricity issues, and additional paint/plaster problems. The most recent significant event on record was a complaint about an illegal conversion at a different address (11421) on February 11, 2022, which was referred to the Fire Department. The building's documented history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that required multiple inspections and complaints before resolution, with particular attention needed during the 2021-2022 period.
