39-02 112th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 18-unit, 3-story building at 39-02 112th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Bhanwarlal Nawal and constructed in 1988, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular concerns around water and heating systems. Between 2023 and 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding water supply problems, including several "water supply" and "water leak" incidents, with the most recent heavy flow water leak reported in March 2024 resulting in HPD violations.

Heating issues were also documented, with several emergency complaints about inadequate heat and hot water in January 2024, though some inspections were unable to gain access to confirm the conditions. The building faced additional challenges with pests, including an unsanitary condition complaint in January 2024 and subsequent violations in March 2024 concerning rodent and cockroach infestations in apartment 3B, along with ongoing rat activity documented in 2025 rodent inspections. As of mid-2025, the building has several open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements from April 2024, which require the owner to file annual bedbug reports as per HPD regulations.

The property has received multiple HPD inspections and service requests, with various conditions being addressed through emergency response actions, but some complaints noted difficulties in gaining access to units for proper inspection. The building's recent history shows persistent infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding water systems and heating reliability, which have required multiple emergency responses and inspections. The property has also undergone multiple rodent control measures throughout 2024-2025, with inspections showing rat activity in both 2024 and 2025, despite the application of bait systems during several months.
