Rong Chen is listed in NYC building registrations or deeds for the buildings below. How buildings are linked: by HPD registration, deed, or a confirmed parent company. Being named as a head officer or managing agent is not the same as owning.
Where the buildings are 8 of the 12 buildings with a current record — 67% — are in Queens, with the rest spread across two other boroughs. Brooklyn accounts for 3; Manhattan accounts for 1.
How the violations are distributed Open violations are not spread evenly across these buildings. 37-71 103 Street alone carries 7 of them — 44% of everything open across the buildings with a current record — and two buildings hold half of the total. Behind it sit 5915 4 Avenue with 6 and 47-03 Junction Boulevard with 2.
Violations per apartment Across 132 apartments the portfolio runs 0.12 open violations per unit. one building averages at least one open violation for every apartment in it.
The split inside the portfolio 8 of the 12 buildings with a current record have nothing open against them today, while 4 do. Portfolio-level averages hide that split, which is why the list is worth reading one row at a time.
What tenants called in Tenants filed 18 complaints against these buildings in the last 12 months, or 0.14 per apartment. The heaviest was 88-20 Whitney Avenue with 13. Complaints and violations are separate records — a complaint that closed without an inspector getting inside leaves no violation behind it.
Age of the stock The median building here went up in 1969, and 5 of 12 predate 1960. Pre-1960 buildings carry lead-paint and window-guard obligations that newer stock does not, which shapes what turns up in an inspection.
How long things stay open The longest-standing open item in the portfolio is at 37-71 103 Street and has been open 3.5 years. An old open violation is not a paperwork lag — it is a condition the city recorded and has not been shown to be corrected.
What has moved in the last two years 32 violations were written against these buildings in the last 24 months. 26 of them — 81% — have since been cleared, and 6 are still open. That ratio moves between city sweeps, which is why a standing total on its own says less than it looks like it does.
