35-20 108th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The four-story, 16-unit New Law tenement building at 35-20 108th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Jonah Rosenberg and constructed in 1928, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, between March and June 2025, there were multiple reports of water leaks (including slow leaks and damp spots), ceiling paint/plaster problems, and pest-related unsanitary conditions, some of which HPD was unable to properly inspect. In addition, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from November 2019 regarding the failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017.

The building's most significant historical issues have centered around Apartment 3D, which has received particular attention from housing authorities. A comprehensive inspection in April 2023 revealed multiple violations, including mold (approximately 3 square feet in bathroom), broken ceramic floor tiles in the kitchen, and lead paint hazards. The lead-related violations required remediation of both visible lead paint and lead-containing painted surfaces, along with installation or repair of window guards, though most of these were certified as corrected by 2024.

The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero cases. The property has undergone regular inspections and received various citations requiring maintenance work, including repairs to floor tiles, bathroom fixtures, and safety improvements. While many violations have been resolved through certification, the building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with water leaks, ceiling damage, and pest control that continue to require attention.
