102-16 35th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

102-16 35th Avenue is a 5-story, 9-unit residential building built in 2009, currently owned by Jesus Vera and located in Jackson Heights. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, with the most recent complaint regarding unsanitary conditions and pests filed in June 2023, and prior pest complaints recorded in 2020 and 2019.

There have been multiple heating system issues, including a building-wide heat and hot water outage in December 2022 and an apartment-specific issue in January 2022, though these were reportedly resolved following tenant intervention. Safety concerns were raised in 2022 regarding the fire escape, and various sanitation issues have been reported over the years. The building is currently facing several open violations as of March/April 2024 related to safety and maintenance requirements, including the need to file an annual bedbug report and post various safety notices regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures.

Between 2021-2022, there were significant concerns about unauthorized usage of the cellar space, which was allegedly converted into a recreational area with inappropriate storage of combustible materials, though these violations were ultimately resolved. The Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board violations from 2021-2022 indicate issues with the improper use of mechanical rooms and unauthorized occupancy changes, resulting in fines that have been resolved. While many past complaints have been closed without violations being issued, the recurring nature of certain issues, particularly related to pests and heating systems, may warrant attention.
