101-03 37th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The two-family house at 101-03 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Ana Delacruz, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in November 2024. These complaints followed an inspection that resulted in violations regarding hot water delivery in Apartment 2A. The same inspection revealed numerous other violations in Apartment 2A, including issues with the ceiling surfaces, floor tiles, wood base sink cabinet, and water leakage from the roof, as well as problems with plastered surfaces that required repair and repainting throughout the apartment.

Earlier maintenance history includes plumbing and flooring issues reported in May 2022, though no violations were issued following the inspections. The building has also faced structural concerns in recent months, with two active violations recorded in 2025 related to construction activities at the adjacent property (101-01 37th Avenue). These violations describe a potential collapse risk to the building's exterior wall and an apparent lean of two feet outward. Additionally, there is an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2020 external low-pressure inspection.

Two recent complaints from May 2025 regarding falling debris and construction work were investigated, with one resulting in a vacate order that was subsequently rescinded. The building, constructed in 1930, is a two-story structure containing two residential units. While some of the earlier issues were addressed without violations being issued, the recent pattern of heating, structural, and maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with the property. The most pressing concerns appear to be the heating system functionality and structural integrity issues related to the neighboring construction activity.
