112-37 38th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 8-unit, 4-story building at 112-37 38th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by 38 Corona LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since mid-2023, with the most pressing concerns relating to heat and sanitation. In early 2025, there were multiple HPD complaints regarding heat/hot water issues, pests, and door problems, with violations issued for the pests and door conditions. The building faced repeated heating system problems in mid-2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between June 21-27.

A substantial number of violations remain open as of July 2025, including issues with the roof (leaking over 4th-story public hall), heating system access, smoke detector functionality, and sanitation concerns in the south yard. Notably, Apartment B1 has multiple documented issues including pest infestation, mold, and various maintenance problems. The building has undergone rodent control measures throughout 2023, with several bait applications recorded between March and September 2023, and inspections showing rat activity in January, April, and September of that year.

While a compliance inspection in September 2023 resulted in a "Passed" status, the persistent nature of pest control efforts and the recent violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has had some positive outcomes, such as the resolution of several heating complaints in early 2024 and inspections finding no violations for some issues, including an appliance complaint in September 2024. However, the concentration of open violations and recent complaints, particularly regarding heat/hot water issues and sanitation problems, indicates ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
