97-42 89th Street, Queens, NY 11416

The three-unit residential building at 97-42 89th Street in Ozone Park, owned by Muzhen Li and constructed in 2007, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with three emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025. While two of these complaints had their issues reportedly corrected and one was determined not to violate HPD's housing laws, the pattern of heating system problems is concerning. The building has also faced several maintenance challenges in 2024, including issues with electrical outlets/switches, windows and door frames, though all these complaints were closed without violations being issued.

Historical records show a pest-related complaint in late 2018 that could not be inspected due to access issues, but more recent bedbug reporting for the property from 2021 through 2024 indicates no infested units during these periods. The building has had three annual bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2024, all showing zero infested units, which is positive from a pest management perspective. However, there was one complaint regarding work without a permit in September 2021, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification.

The property appears to have maintained rodent-free status since passing inspections in 2015. It's worth noting that all emergency complaints reported through 311 have been closed, though this has required multiple service requests in some cases. The building's relatively recent construction (2007) may have contributed to its ability to pass rodent inspections and maintain a consistent record of bedbug management, though the recent heating system issues suggest some maintenance challenges may be emerging.
