111-17 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

At 111-17 Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, this 2-unit, 3-story residential building owned by Tony Hwang has experienced several notable incidents since its construction in 1990. Most recently, in 2024, there were two food-related complaints involving potential contamination and food poisoning that were investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though these were determined to be isolated incidents.

The building has a history of emergency maintenance issues from 2019, including complaints about cooking gas, heat and hot water problems, and multiple water leak reports, all of which were marked as emergencies by the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department. During that same period, there were also concerns about unsanitary conditions regarding garbage and recycling storage, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions.

The property has faced recurring administrative requirements regarding bedbug reporting, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023 for failing to submit the annual bedbug report as required by HPD regulations. However, in a positive development, the most recent bedbug filings from 2023-2024 and 2024-2025 show no reported infestation, with zero infested units and successful eradication of any previous cases. The building's maintenance history indicates occasional access issues for inspectors during investigations of various complaints, including heating, hot water, and water leak problems, suggesting some challenges with gaining entry to assess reported conditions.
