200-10 Hollis Avenue, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 200-10 Hollis Avenue in St. Albans, owned by Mingfeng Zhuang, was built in 1930 and has experienced a cluster of maintenance issues in March 2025. Most significantly, there were multiple emergency situations including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, safety concerns with smoke detectors, various plumbing issues (affecting sinks, water supply, and radiators), and unsanitary conditions involving mold and pests.

The building also encountered issues with flooring/stairs, ceiling paint/plaster, and a water leak with damp spots. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections for many of these complaints, they were unable to complete inspections for several issues, notably including the carbon monoxide detector and pest problems, for which they recommended submitting new service requests if conditions persisted. However, no violations were issued for the conditions that were inspected, and all complaints were subsequently closed within a few days of being reported.

The building's current condition suggests multiple areas requiring attention, particularly regarding safety systems (smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), plumbing infrastructure, and general maintenance issues. The recent cluster of complaints, particularly those classified as emergencies, indicates several pressing concerns affecting the building's habitability. However, it's worth noting that HPD's inspections did not result in any official violations being issued for the inspected conditions, and the rapid response to the complaints resulted in all being closed within approximately two days of reporting.
