109-48 120th Street, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family house at 109-48 120th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Fang Lin, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. The 1920-built property, which stands two stories tall, has faced recurring pest problems, with multiple complaints lodged with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in late 2019.

Specifically, the building had documented pest-related complaints in September 2019 and December 2019, all of which were marked as "non-emergency" but notably, the HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions in these instances. In addition to the pest issues, there was an emergency heat and hot water complaint in December 2019 that affected at least one apartment, though similarly to the pest complaints, the HPD was unable to gain access for inspection.

Earlier records from 2015 show a concerning pattern of rodent activity, with the building initially failing inspection in July 2015 before passing a subsequent compliance inspection later that month. These documented issues, particularly the repeated pest complaints and heating system concerns, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within this two-unit residential building. While all complaints have been officially closed, the closure status often indicates either resolution or inability to verify the condition, and the records recommend filing new complaints if issues persist.
