90-16 80th Street, Queens, NY 11421

The three-unit, two-story building at 90-16 80th Street in Woodhaven, owned by Xiao Yong Lin, has experienced several significant issues in recent years, with the most pressing being the ongoing consequences of a major fire incident in August 2024. This fire caused severe damage to approximately 30% of the roof and multiple apartments (1F, 2F, and 2R), resulting in active violations related to fire damage, structural concerns, and required repairs to fire retardant materials. The building was subsequently vacated due to the extent of the damage, which included compromised windows, smoke damage, and water damage throughout the structure.

Additional open violations from 2024 include issues with a broken or defective roof deck, an improperly extended iron ladder for roof access, and concerns about a formerly occupied cellar area with illegal plumbing fixtures. The building has also faced ongoing maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints and Department of Buildings inspections. Recent complaints in 2024 involved issues with rodent attractants, unsanitary conditions, and work being done without proper permits.

Notably, there were two separate complaints related to illegal conversions in August 2024, and the property is currently under scrutiny for potential unauthorized modifications. However, the building has been free of bedbug infestations in all reported years from 2019 to 2025, with regular annual reports showing zero infested units. The property has demonstrated some positive compliance, with recent rodent inspections passing and previous violations being resolved, though the active fire-related violations from 2024 remain a significant concern.
