162-11 9th Avenue, Queens, NY 11357

162-11 9th Avenue in Whitestone is an 8-story, 32-unit residential building constructed in 1958, currently owned by Stanley Greenberg. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, most notably with its elevator systems.

In 2020 and 2021, there were two separate incidents involving the building's single elevator lacking alternate service, both resulting in Oath Violations being served. Additionally, an Environmental Control Board violation was recorded in May 2021 related to elevator maintenance, specifically citing a missing escape hatch chain, unclean car top, and outdated maintenance log, though this violation was subsequently resolved with no penalties imposed. The building has also experienced plumbing issues, with non-emergency water supply complaints filed in July 2020 that were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development, though no violations were found.

A Housing Violations complaint from 2019 regarding the failure to file the FISP Cycle 8B Technical Report appears to be active as of the latest records. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building has demonstrated effective pest management, with the most recent bedbug reports from 2022-2024 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation across all units. The building's maintenance record shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with a particular focus required on the building's elevator system and compliance with filing requirements.
