33-36 102nd Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 33-36 102nd Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Carlos Pena, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in March 2025, there were multiple serious complaints involving unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest issues, along with problems affecting plumbing (sink), and window frames.

All these complaints resulted in violations being issued, though the building department provided the owner with time to address these conditions. Prior to this, in June 2024, there were several difficulties reported including issues with a door, floor problems, and water leak concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. An emergency heat and hot water complaint for the entire building in April 2024 was inspected but no violations were found as the heat requirement was not in effect at the time.

Looking at historical compliance issues, there is an active violation from November 2019 concerning the owner's failure to file the mandatory annual boiler inspection report for 2017. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues that generally fall into categories of basic maintenance needs, though the recent cluster of violations in 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions and plumbing issues may indicate a deterioration in overall building maintenance. While many of these complaints have been addressed through the violation issuance process, with HPD inspections taking place and giving the owner time to correct the problems, the persistent nature of some issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
