26-10 Union Street, Queens, NY 11354

26-10 Union Street, a 6-story residential building in Flushing owned by Keith Werny, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints in early 2025 (January 9 and January 21) affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with violations issued that required correction.

In late 2024, recurring issues with mold and unsanitary conditions were documented, particularly affecting apartment 1D, while the building has also faced multiple pest control challenges throughout 2024 with varying inspection outcomes. The building's property violations history shows active concerns as of 2025, including several issues related to facade maintenance reporting, which have resulted in penalties totaling $1250 each for multiple instances in early 2024. Emergency violations were recorded in December 2024 for unsafe conditions, including issues with the compactor closet door and related safety notices.

The building has also faced challenges with its heating system and water infrastructure, as evidenced by multiple HPD violations and service requests. While there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the most recent monitoring periods (2023-2024) and recent rodent inspections have shown passing results, the building's current status shows several open violations that require attention. The property has maintained a regular pattern of responding to inspections and violations, though some issues, particularly regarding facade maintenance documentation, have persisted since 2021.
