123-14 18th Avenue, Queens, NY 11356

The three-story, six-unit tenement building at 123-14 18th Avenue in College Point, owned by 123-14 Realty Llc, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced persistent heating and pest control challenges in recent years. The property has a documented history of heat and hot water issues, particularly evident between December 2023 and March 2024, with multiple HPD complaints filed regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide problems.

While inspections were conducted, no violations were issued during this period, though there are two active violations from January 2024 related to heating equipment and pest infestation in apartment 3R. The building has also experienced recurring bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports in 2025 indicating all six units were affected, though all were reportedly eradicated. Most concerning is the current construction of active violations concerning maintenance issues, including defective entrance doors (Class C violation) and heating system problems in apartment 3R (Class B violation).

Additionally, there are open Department of Buildings violations from 2023-2024 regarding failure to file required external low pressure inspections. The building's management has demonstrated some attention to maintenance matters, with multiple permits issued in 2018-2019 for plumbing and other work, but the recurring nature of heat and pest issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance. The property's documented history since 2020 shows relatively few complaints outside of these recurring issues, with only occasional incidents related to commercial use and COVID-19 compliance matters, neither of which resulted in violations.
