35-06 97th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 35-06 97th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Jonah Rosenberg, has faced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple pest-related complaints between late 2022 and 2023, with violations issued in February 2023, December 2022, and November 2022.

The building has also experienced two heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in December 2022, though these issues were reportedly resolved. A significant cluster of violations was documented in April 2023 primarily affecting Apartment 1, including problems with mold, plaster surfaces, a defective bathtub stopper, a broken door lock, and an infestation of cockroaches and mice, all of which were certified as corrected by June 2023.

The building's maintenance history shows some recurring issues with appliances, particularly refrigerators, with multiple complaints filed between October and November 2022, though most of these were closed without violations. A notable safety concern was addressed in April 2023 when building inspectors found and required the removal of plant pots and household items obstructing egress from fire escapes on all stories. While the building has documented bedbug and rodent inspections showing relatively few problems (with one documented bedbug incident in 2018-2019 and rat activity noted in late 2020), the persistent pest issues in more recent years suggest an ongoing challenge with vermin control.
