166-31 9th Avenue, Queens, NY 11357

The 32-unit, 8-story residential building at 166-31 9th Avenue in Whitestone, owned by Stanley Greenberg, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in 2024-2025, there were plumbing problems with a basin/sink that HPD inspectors were unable to evaluate due to access issues.

In July 2024, there was also a reported pest problem (classified as an unsanitary condition), though inspectors could not gain access to investigate. In terms of building systems, a December 2024 inspection related to a sidewalk shed found no violations, while a May 2021 elevator-related complaint resulted in an Oath violation being served. An Environmental Control Board violation from May 2021 indicated problems with both a sump pump's electrical connection and an escape hatch chain, though this was resolved with no penalty.

The building demonstrates a generally positive pest control record, with no reported bedbug infestations or treatments over the past seven reporting periods from 2019-2025, suggesting effective ongoing pest management practices. There have been three DOB violations recorded between 2019-2024, all of which were dismissed or resolved based on subsequent inspections showing corrections were made. While there have been some maintenance challenges as evidenced by the 311 complaints and violations, many issues appear to be related to inspection access rather than persistent problems, though this pattern of inaccessible inspections is worth noting.
