102-42 86th Road, Queens, NY 11418

The 3-unit, 2-story residential building at 102-42 86th Road in Richmond Hill, owned by Lin Chen and constructed in 2008, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year up to October 2023. The most pressing concerns center around heating systems, with three heat/hot water complaints documented between October 2024 and January 2025, one of which was classified as an emergency affecting the entire building.

The property has also faced multiple unsanitary conditions, with two HPD violations issued in November 2024 related to pests and sewage issues, though other unsanitary condition complaints (including those about garbage storage) were closed without violations. The building currently has several open violations following a December 2024 inspection, including pest infestations (roaches in Apartment 2, and mice in both Apartments 2 and 3), issues with window guards in Apartment 2, and problems with the public hall space including encumbrances and a deficient fire safety system.

Heating system problems are also documented through housing maintenance code violations, with some violations being classified as Class C, which indicates a potential immediate risk to resident safety or comfort. Notably, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no reported infestations during the last two annual reporting periods (2023-2024 and 2024-2025). The most recent service requests and violations suggest ongoing challenges with basic systems maintenance, particularly in Apartment 2, which has multiple documented issues including heating, pest control, and various maintenance concerns that have required multiple inspections and service requests to address.
