The 6-story, 70-unit residential building at 39-06 114th Street in Jackson Heights, currently owned by Ursula Niarakis and constructed in 1965, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues throughout 2024 and 2025. Most recently, in June 2025, there were multiple heat and hot water complaints affecting the entire building, and several units reported problems with walls, ceilings, windows, and plumbing systems. Multiple violations were issued during this period, including issues with paint/plaster, water leaks, and unsanitary conditions. An elevator service failure was particularly notable, with multiple complaints recorded between March and May 2025, though inspections generally found no violations at the time.

The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing infrastructure and safety concerns, including several open violations from a November 2024 inspection related to water damage in public areas and maintenance issues in Apartment 5L. The building's heating system has been a recurring area of concern, with both emergency complaints and violations related to hot water availability. Environmental concerns have also emerged, with active rat activity reported during compliance inspections in 2024 and 2025, and a history of unsanitary conditions including mold issues. While the building's bedbug reports from 2020-2024 show no recent infestations, the external facade has required attention, with previous violations related to exterior maintenance and facade conditions noted in 2018-2019.

The property has had multiple violations related to boiler and heating system maintenance, with an active ECB violation from 2024 regarding flooding issues in the boiler room. The building's management has faced challenges maintaining basic systems, as evidenced by numerous emergency service requests and violations across various categories including plumbing, heating, and general maintenance. While some violations have been resolved, a number remain open or were issued recently, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing no infestations in recent years, though rodent activity remains an ongoing management issue requiring regular baiting and monitoring.
