108-28 38th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

This four-story, 30-unit New Law Tenement building in Jackson Heights, owned by Tom Sideris and constructed in 1928, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most pressing is an ongoing heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building from March 2025, which remains open as of the current date in July 2025. The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with similar complaints in December 2020 and March 2023, though those were eventually closed.

Other notable maintenance issues include an unsanitary sewage condition in March 2023, power outages in July 2022, and various maintenance problems documented in October 2021 that affected multiple systems (including flooring/stairs, electrical outlets, and pest control). The building has two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from October 2021, specifically related to a roach infestation and broken floor tiles in Apartment 3E. The property has undergone regular inspections and has shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, consistently reporting zero infested units.

Recent inspections in 2023-2024, including Tenant Safety Inspections and Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspections, found no violations at the time of inspection. While the building has had multiple maintenance issues requiring attention, most have been addressed through proper channels, with the exception of the ongoing heat and hot water issue. The property has maintained its rodent-free status since the most recent passed inspection in March 2023, and there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past three years. The building's management has also obtained necessary permits for various maintenance work, including electrical and plumbing repairs as evidenced by permits issued in 2019.
