111-25 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 111-25 Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by George Kremydas and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning is the recent heat and hot water emergency complaint from March 2025, which resulted in HPD violations.

In 2023, multiple serious issues were reported simultaneously, including problems with electrical lighting, fire escape safety, garbage/recycling storage, and missing signage, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions. The building is currently facing significant structural concerns, with active Environmental Control Board violations from June 2023 noting hazardous conditions due to a bowing brick wall above windows, for which a $6,250 penalty has been imposed. There are also multiple active Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections between 2018 and 2022, with these violations being issued as late as September 2024.

On a more routine maintenance front, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2019-2023 indicate that while there were no infestations reported in 2021-2022 and 2022-2023, there were three units that required eradication treatment during the 2021-2022 period. The building has passed rat inspections in 2012 and 2018, though there was one failure noted in July 2012 for unspecified reasons. In terms of annual reporting requirements, there is currently an open violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the annual bedbug report with HPD, though this appears to be an administrative oversight rather than a condition affecting residents.
