139-19 34th Road, Queens, NY 11354

The 46-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 139-19 34th Road in Flushing, built in 1928 and currently owned by Gustavo Moran, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with multiple complaints in 2024 alone (April, March, and July) suggesting significant building-wide systems challenges. Water-related issues have also been prominent, including a recent unresolved plumbing water supply complaint from July 2024, and a slow water leak problem documented in late 2023 affecting Apartment C8, which resulted in both Class A and B violations in July 2024.

The building has faced pest control challenges, evidenced by a 2023 complaint about an infestation of roaches and mice in Apartment B6, though this was resolved by September 2023. The property has demonstrated ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple complaints regarding various issues including window problems (March 2024), unsanitary conditions (August 2023), and building inspections that required multiple access attempts by inspectors. While there have been some resolved violations, such as those concerning plaster and paint issues in Apartments A6 and B6, several other matters appear to have recurred, such as the heat and hot water problems. The building's bedbug reporting history shows some activity, with three infested units reported in 2022-2023, though no infestations were recorded in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024).

The Department of Buildings records from 2023-2024 indicate several inspection attempts regarding work without permits and compliance inspections, but no significant violations were documented during these inspections. The property has a mixed record of addressing maintenance issues, with some violations being promptly addressed while others required multiple complaints before resolution. Recent housing maintenance code violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water systems and heating infrastructure. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement indicate it has maintained its original structure while undergoing typical urban maintenance issues.
