111-28 37th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The five-story, 18-unit residential building at 111-28 37th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Long Lin and constructed in 2007, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges particularly related to water issues and pest control. The most recent cluster of complaints in 2025 involved plumbing, water leakage, and surface maintenance concerns including walls, ceilings, and flooring, though inspections found no housing law violations in these cases.

The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints between 2019 and 2020 regarding heavy flow and damp spots, some of which resulted in violations. More recently, in October 2024, the building was cited for several housing maintenance violations including issues with public hall ceilings, door mechanisms, and an infestation of roaches in apartment 5B, as well as concerns about carbon monoxide detectors and roof leaks in that same apartment. The building has also faced challenges with building systems and compliance issues, as evidenced by multiple open Department of Buildings violations related to failure to file required energy benchmarking reports between 2019 and 2021.

Recent inspections show active rodent control efforts, with multiple bait applications throughout 2023-2024 and some inspections noting rat activity, though these are being addressed through regular baiting. The property has maintained a bedbug-free status in recent filings from 2021 through 2025, showing no reported infestations. While many recent complaints have been addressed and closed, there are notable ongoing issues with building maintenance, particularly regarding the condition of public areas and the 5th-floor apartment while the energy compliance violations remain active.
