136-41 35th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

The property at 136-41 35th Avenue in Flushing is a 3-story, 3-unit residential building owned by Wei Zheng and constructed in 2001. The building has experienced recurring pest issues, particularly during 2018-2019, with multiple Emergency UNSANITARY CONDITION-PESTS complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between December 2018 and January 2019. More recently, from 2021 to 2024, the building received consistent Annual Bedbug Report violations under Housing Maintenance Code § HMC, indicating ongoing pest management compliance issues.

Significant safety and code violations emerged in early 2019, including four open violations related to emergency egress and safety notice requirements, such as defective fire egress at a first-floor apartment, a defective smoke detector, and missing required safety notices regarding gas leaks and smoke detector requirements in the public hall. The building was also subject to Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations regarding unauthorized conversion and work without proper permits, along with obstructed exit passageways, with penalties totaling $5,000. The property has undergone several rodent inspections between late 2018 and 2020, showing rat activity and requiring bait application.

The building's maintenance history includes a notable heat and hot water emergency complaint in January 2019, though this was resolved within a few days. The most recent building inspection data available shows some outstanding issues, including an active ECB violation from June 2019 regarding failure to comply with a commissioner's order. While some historical violations have been closed, their pattern suggests persistent maintenance and safety compliance challenges within the building. The property has been subject to multiple inspections and complaints regarding various maintenance issues, with particular attention needed for pest control compliance and building safety systems.
