32-16 137th Street, Queens, NY 11354

32-16 137th Street is a 5-story, 8-unit residential building located in Flushing and constructed in 2007, currently owned by Anes Radoncic. The building's recent history is marked by several significant regulatory interactions, most notably regarding safety and maintenance compliance. In 2023, the property received multiple environmental control board violations, including an active violation for illegally parked vehicles (with a $500 penalty) and a resolved violation for an excessively high fence ($250 penalty). There were also serious occupancy-related issues in 2023 concerning unauthorized use of the cellar space.

Between 2018 and 2023, the building faced recurring bedbug reporting requirements, with annual violations for failing to file the necessary reports, though recent filings show zero infested units. The property has undergone various inspections and corrections, including a 2018-2019 resolution of multiple safety-related violations regarding fire safety, carbon monoxide detection, and proper signage requirements. The building's maintenance history shows mixed results, with some violations (like the illegal conversion complaint in 2023) leading to Oath violations. Safety concerns have been periodically addressed through 311 complaints and HPD inspections, including a fire escape-related complaint in 2018 that was investigated but resulted in no violations.

The Department of Buildings has recorded various complaints and compliance issues since 2018, including work without a permit, inadequate maintenance, and fence concerns. Despite these challenges, the building has shown recent improvements in bedbug control, with no reported infestations in the most recent filing period. The property's rodent inspection history from 2015 indicated initial rat activity, though a subsequent compliance inspection passed without issues. As of 2023, the building's owners have generally addressed violations when cited, though some issues remain active or were resolved with penalties.
