145-16 34th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

The 8-story residential building at 145-16 34th Avenue in Flushing, owned by David Marx, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2021, with the most recent being a pest-related complaint in September 2024. The building has faced multiple heating system failures, with reports of no heat or hot water in both 2022 and 2024, though in each instance, heat was reportedly restored before inspection. Water-related problems have been particularly persistent, with multiple complaints regarding heavy flow and slow leaks between 2021 and 2022, leading to several Housing Maintenance Code violations.

These violations included requirements to repair water leak sources and address damaged plastered surfaces, particularly affecting apartment 2C. The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about "No Alternate Service" between 2019 and 2025, including an active complaint as of June 2025. In 2019, several elevator-related violations were documented, including issues with door zone restrictors, emergency phone functionality, and water in the pit.

While these violations were subsequently resolved, they indicate ongoing elevator maintenance challenges. Recent inspections have shown rat activity in 2024, despite previous pest management efforts, though no bedbug infestations have been reported in the past eight years. The property also received an ECB violation in 2024 for failing to submit the required parking structure observation report, resulting in a $2,530 penalty. The building's maintenance record shows various other health and safety violations, including requirements to repair self-closing doors in multiple locations, though most of these issues were addressed and closed through proper remediation.
