35-58 97th Street, Queens, NY 11368
The 18-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 35-58 97th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Costas Katsifas and constructed in 1926, has experienced persistent maintenance and pest management challenges, particularly regarding heat systems and rodent activity. Most recently, in April 2025, the building faced rodent infestation issues that resulted in DOHMH violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has a concerning pattern of heat and hot water complaints, with emergency reports in 2022 and 2025 showing building-wide problems.
In 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding door issues, unsanitary conditions, and pest problems, though inspections generally found no violations. Notably, Apartment 12 (3rd floor) has been the focus of several violations, including lead paint hazards and a roach infestation identified in January 2024, though some of these violations were later closed. The building has undergone multiple rodent control efforts, with multiple inspections between 2019 and 2025 confirming ongoing rat activity.
A plumbing emergency involving a toilet issue was reported and resolved in December 2022. The property also experienced a kitchen fire inspection in 2023, resulting in an ECB violation for defective fixtures and wires, though no fines were imposed. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a zero-incidence record for bedbug infestations across all reporting periods since 2019.
