104-41 39th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 3-unit, 3-story building at 104-41 39th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Victor Riofrio, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, particularly notable in December 2018 when multiple complaints were filed about both building-wide and individual unit problems. These complaints, classified as emergencies, resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including inadequate heating and hot water supply in the first-floor apartment, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the third-floor apartment, and various issues with the building's fire escape and heating system access.

While many of these violations were ultimately closed by December 2018, they indicate significant infrastructure challenges during that period. The building has maintained an active record of compliance checks and reporting since then, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years (2020-2025) according to mandatory Bed Bug Reporting requirements.

Two notable Environmental Control Board violations were issued in August 2018 regarding front yard planting requirements and fence height, both of which were resolved. More recently, in 2024, there have been no reported pest issues, as indicated by the bedbug reporting history showing zero infested units over multiple filing periods. The building has undergone necessary maintenance and compliance procedures since the 2018 heating system problems, including permit issuances for various maintenance work in 2018, though some complaints about system access and utility issues in late 2018 suggest prior difficulties in obtaining necessary inspections.
