137-08 Centreville Street, Queens, NY 11417

The three-story, three-unit building at 137-08 Centreville Street in Ozone Park, owned by Guang Hui Ding and constructed in 1988, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues, particularly during 2022. Most notably, there were multiple violations related to window guards, including incidents in July and October 2022, along with safety concerns regarding smoke detectors and door issues. The building has had various plumbing, heating, and general maintenance problems, with violations recorded for a leaky kitchen sink faucet, missing baseboard heating cover, and incomplete cabinet repairs - all of which were addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Recent inspections revealed some compliance issues, including an open violation from October 2022 regarding window guards in apartment 3, though many previous violations from 2022-2023 have been closed. The building had electrical wiring concerns in public areas, which were subsequently addressed. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record, with no infestations reported in the last three reporting periods from 2019 through 2024.

A complaint regarding illegal conversion was filed in March 2023, but this was dismissed following an investigation in May 2023. Most recent violations include an April 2024 notice requiring submission of the annual bedbug report, while a January 2023 violation was issued for ceiling paint requirements in apartment 3, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's maintenance history suggests a pattern of addressing various safety and maintenance issues, with significant attention paid to window guard compliance and other safety features, though some violations remain open as of the most recent inspection.
