75-41 113th Street, Queens, NY 11375

The three-story, seven-unit residential building at 75-41 113th Street in Forest Hills, owned by Fereshteh Baharestani and constructed in 1990, has experienced a series of maintenance issues over the past year, with particular emphasis on heating system problems. Between November 2024 and April 2025, there were multiple complaints and violations related to heating and hot water, including an open Class C violation from December 2024 regarding inadequate heat in Apartment 2, and another open Class A violation concerning excessively hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit in all fixtures of the same unit.

The building has also experienced various other maintenance challenges, including a ceiling paint/plaster issue in December 2024, door problems, and water leak complaints, all of which resulted in violations that require correction within specified timeframes. More recent developments as of October 2023 indicate ongoing concerns about building safety and maintenance compliance. Three open violations from a December 2024 inspection include requirements to post proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and housing information guide availability.

The building's exterior has also been the subject of enforcement actions, with a documented illegal curb cut that resulted in a penalty of $625 in March 2024. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (April 2019 and December 2024), and there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past several years, the concentration of heating and hot water-related issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance. Notably, many of the complaints and violations are relatively recent, with the majority originating between November 2024 and April 2025, indicating potential ongoing maintenance challenges in the building's systems and infrastructure.
