101-09 39th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The four-story, seven-unit residential building located at 101-09 39th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Rivka Rosenberg, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent months. As of May 2024, the building has multiple open violations that warrant attention, particularly in apartment 1R on the first floor, which has been cited for problems with its smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, and pest infestation (specifically, a roach infestation).

Additional common area violations include issues with fire safety systems, including defective self-closing doors and latch assemblies on fire doors between the first story and the stairs. In December 2023, there was a plumbing-related complaint regarding a radiator that was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were found.

Looking back at the building's history, there is one significant Department of Buildings violation from October 2019 regarding a failure to file a required technical report by the end of 2018, though this violation was dismissed in April 2020. The building has maintained a notably clean record regarding bedbug issues, with annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested dwelling units. While the building's age (constructed in 2002) and its filing history indicate regular monitoring for pests and compliance with various regulations, the current open violations related to safety systems and pest control in apartment 1R suggest a need for ongoing attention to maintenance issues in the building.
