35-06 Leavitt Street, Queens, NY 11354

The 54-unit, 7-story residential building at 35-06 Leavitt Street in Flushing, owned by George Xu, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably in 2024 when serious violations emerged in apartment 5K, including problems with water leaks at window frames, damaged plaster and paint surfaces, and a defective smoke detector. The building also has multiple active violations from June 2024 related to safety requirements, including missing notices for carbon monoxide detectors and gas leak procedures, and a defective fire stair door latch.

The elevator system has been a recurring problem, with three active ECB violations from July 2023 totaling over $12,375 in penalties for issues including hydraulic jack leakage and non-functional devices. Additionally, there are outstanding facade-related violations from 2023-2024 requiring corrections and reporting, and multiple historical complaints about building systems and safety equipment. The building's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with various essential systems and safety requirements.

While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2019-2024), the building has faced other regulatory challenges, including multiple failures to submit required reports and violations related to building safety systems. Recent inspections in 2024 resulted in multiple open violations requiring attention, and there are several active ECB violations related to facade maintenance and safety devices that remain unresolved as of 2025. Despite these issues, the building's most recent 311 service requests have been for relatively minor matters such as water leaks, though these indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
