426 Menahan Street, Queens, NY 11385
426 Menahan Street is a 3-unit, 3-story tenement building constructed in 1901, currently owned by Mark Halpern. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three documented incidents in 2024 (April, October, and March 2025) affecting the entire building, all classified as emergencies. The most recent incident in March 2025 was resolved, though inspections were either not conducted or access was denied.
In addition to these heating problems, the building has faced several safety and maintenance challenges. An October 2024 inspection revealed multiple violations related to building safety notices, including missing postings for carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and heating system access information; however, these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by October 29, 2024. There are currently two open violations from April 2024 regarding encumbrances in the 2nd-story public hall and defective self-closing doors at the 3rd-story bulkhead.
The building's recent history shows attention to pest control, with consistent bedbug reporting from 2019-2024 indicating no infestations during the past five reporting periods. Rat activity has been a recurring issue, with documented inspections showing varying results between 2016 and 2024, though the most recent inspection in September 2024 resulted in a passing grade. A 2020 complaint regarding building shaking or vibrating was recorded but closed due to inspectors being unable to gain access. While the building maintains compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and shows some improvements in rodent management, the recurring heat and hot water issues represent the most significant ongoing maintenance challenge as of July 2025.
