72-72 112th Street, Queens, NY 11375

The 118-unit, 6-story building at 72-72 112th Street in Forest Hills, owned by Aaron Sirulnick and constructed in 1939, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past few years, with the most recent incidents occurring in January 2025 involving multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems throughout the entire building. These complaints, categorized as emergencies, represent a pattern of heating system failures, as similar complaints were logged in 2022 and 2023, often resulting in HPD inspections being unable to gain access to units for verification.

The building has also faced other maintenance challenges, including an unsanitary sewage condition reported in late 2023 that required inspection but resulted in no violations, and a plumbing issue involving the bathtub/shower in 2021-2022. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with reports showing isolated cases between 2018 and 2022, though recent filings (2023-2024) indicate no current infestations.

Two complaints were filed with the Department of Buildings in 2019-2020 regarding elevator devices and illegal commercial use, but both were investigated and found to warrant no violations. Despite these various issues, the building's more recent bedbug reports show no active infestations, though the recurring heating system problems and access issues for inspections may indicate persistent maintenance challenges.
