114-18 89th Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

The two-family home at 114-18 89th Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by John Flynn, is a two-story building constructed in 1920. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, most notably recurring heating system problems in late 2021, with emergency complaints filed in November and December of that year. In January 2020, the building faced multiple simultaneous problems, including electrical wiring issues (with exposed wires in both the kitchen and a bedroom), safety concerns regarding the fire escape, and water leak problems.

These conditions led to violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including various Class A, B, and C violations that required repairs to address multiple issues such as defective plaster surfaces and paint, water leaks in the first-floor bathroom, and the need for carbon monoxide detection devices. The January 2020 inspection revealed several maintenance concerns that were subsequently addressed, as indicated by the March 2020 certification dates for some violations. These included repairs to water leaks, electrical wiring conditions, and improvements to various building features.

The most recent documented issues were the heating system problems in late 2021, with one complaint being closed due to lack of access for inspection. While many of the 2020 violations appear to have been resolved, the heating system problems in 2021 suggest that some infrastructure issues may still be present. The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges involving various systems, including plumbing, electrical, and heating, with the first-floor unit experiencing the majority of reported issues.
