37-84 103rd Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 4-unit, 3-story residential building at 37-84 103rd Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Koren Dafni, has a significant number of outstanding violations that could impact resident safety and comfort. Most notably, there is a persistent pattern of missed bedbug reporting requirements under the Housing Maintenance Code, with open violations documented in 2021 through 2024.

The building's boiler and heating systems have been a particular area of concern, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) violations related to unregistered equipment and operational issues recorded in 2020, resulting in substantial penalties totaling $4,462.50, though the balance due was listed as $315. The property currently has active violations for failing to file required External Low Pressure Inspections for 2018-2021, as well as a more recent violation for 2023, which raises concerns about proper maintenance of critical safety systems.

Recent complaints regarding illegal commercial use in the residential zone have also been recorded, particularly during 2023-2024, though in each case, inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building's infrastructure issues date back to 2018 when tenants experienced an emergency heat and hot water problem that was subsequently closed. While the property has a documented history dating back to 1931, the most pressing concerns revolve around the maintenance of basic building systems and compliance with regulatory requirements, particularly in relation to heating, safety inspections, and pest management reporting.
