9-05 162nd Street, Queens, NY 11357

The 8-story residential building at 9-05 162nd Street in Whitestone, owned by Stanley Greenberg, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2019. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water concerns, with multiple complaints registered in October 2019 regarding both building-wide and apartment-specific issues, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in one instance.

In 2021, there was another heating-related complaint that was resolved quickly within three days. A significant pest infestation was documented in June 2022, specifically affecting apartment 7B, with HPD issuing violations for both roaches and defective self-closing doors, though these issues were certified as corrected by August 2022. The building has also faced regulatory challenges, including an active violation from 2020 regarding elevator safety equipment, specifically the lack of door lock monitoring, for which a $1,250 penalty was imposed.

While there were additional violations noted in 2020 regarding failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous condition, records show these were subsequently resolved or dismissed. Of particular note for current residents, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported through the official NYC Bedbug Registry from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective pest management practices in this area. The most recent inspection and violation data available up to October 2023 indicates that the building has addressed many of its historical maintenance issues, though the active elevator violation from 2020 remains noteworthy.
