168-01 12th Avenue, Queens, NY 11357

The Le Havre Owners Corp-managed 32-unit, 8-story residential building at 168-01 12th Avenue in Whitestone, built in 1958, has experienced recurring elevator service issues over recent years, with multiple complaints about "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service" recorded between 2021 and 2024. The most recent elevator-related complaint was filed in June 2024, followed by a significant mechanical violation in May 2021 involving a missing escape hatch chain, dirty car top, and leaking machine, though this was ultimately resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building has also faced heating infrastructure challenges, with a recent significant incident reported in December 2024 involving loss of heat and hot water throughout the entire building. However, this issue was reportedly resolved shortly after the complaint was filed. Despite these service interruptions, the property has maintained a clean pest control record, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual inspections from 2019 through 2024, showing consistent compliance with pest control requirements.

The building's recent regulatory compliance history shows several inspections conducted in late 2024 through early 2025, including a Tenant Safety Inspection, Local Law 188/17 Compliance Inspection, and Elevator inspection - all of which resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. A minor Housing Maintenance Code complaint related to heating was filed and closed within a few days in December 2024, indicating a relatively prompt response to emergency maintenance issues. Looking at the building's overall history, while there have been periodic service interruptions and maintenance issues, particularly concerning the elevator system and heating infrastructure, the property has generally responded to complaints and maintained compliance with most regulatory requirements.
