The 71-unit, 6-story residential building at 28-20 36 Avenue in Long Island City, owned by 36-08 Queens Realty LLC, has experienced numerous and ongoing maintenance challenges since at least 2023. Currently, there are multiple active violations and complaints, including issues with the elevator system (multiple devices noted as problematic), electrical wiring concerns, and a recently reported infestation of cockroaches in Apartment 1M. The building's maintenance record over the past seven years shows significant health and safety concerns, with a total of 32 Class A violations, 102 Class B violations, and 50 Class C violations, along with 151 housing maintenance code complaints and numerous 311 service requests. Recent inspections in August 2026 identified multiple hazardous conditions in Apartment 1M, including defects in the intercom system, plastered surfaces, bathtub, and caulking, along with a pest infestation. The building has also faced issues with scaffolding and facade maintenance, as evidenced by multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations between 2023 and 2026, with associated penalties totaling over $30,000, including fines for improperly installed scaffolding, and failed inspections. Notably, there is a pattern of complaints regarding pest control and sanitary conditions, with significant maintenance code violations remaining unresolved, including three open housing complaints from July 2026 related to paint/plaster work and unsanitary conditions.

What's in the 28-20 36 Avenue report
Is 28-20 36 Avenue rent-stabilized?
Rent stabilization caps how much your rent can rise and protects your right to renew. Here's how this building scores on the four signals that usually point to it.
Based on public NYC records. Not legal advice — verify with the DHCR (Division of Housing and Community Renewal) at apps.hcr.ny.gov.
Is 28-20 36 Avenue covered by Good Cause Eviction?
New York's Good Cause Eviction law (effective April 20, 2024) gives many market-rate tenants the right to renew their lease and challenge rent hikes above the annual local rent standard. It doesn't apply to every building.
Good Cause also excludes condos & co-ops, subsidized/regulated housing, and units renting above 245% of Fair Market Rent — signals we can't always confirm from public data. Not legal advice. Learn more at nyc.gov or call 311 for the Tenant Helpline.
