102-31 Rau Court, Queens, NY 11414

The two-family house at 102-31 Rau Court in Howard Beach, owned by Bin Zheng, has experienced several maintenance issues during its 20-year history, with a cluster of significant problems occurring in mid-2020. The most serious incident involved a heat and hot water emergency reported on June 18, 2020, during which tenants indicated that these essential services had been restored, though concerns remained about their reliability.

The building also faced multiple other infrastructure challenges during this period, including complaints about a staircase condition (classified as an immediate emergency), multiple window frame issues, and a cooking gas problem, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect these latter concerns. A similar window frame issue had been reported previously in May 2020.

Despite these documented problems, all complaints were ultimately closed, with some classified as emergencies while others were marked as non-emergency or immediate emergency situations. The building, constructed in 2005, is comprised of two stories and contains two residential units, though the recent history of maintenance issues raises questions about the building's infrastructure systems and their current condition more than three years later.
