144-45 35th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

Located in Flushing, 144-45 35th Avenue is a 6-story, 121-unit residential building constructed in 1957 and currently managed by Mid Island Lp/Turian Management. The property has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past year, with several open plumbing-related complaints as of June 2025, including both heavy and slow water leaks. The building has faced multiple inspection access issues, particularly in May 2025, when Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspectors were unable to access units to investigate complaints related to walls, pests, and cabinet issues, which remain unresolved.

Notable recent incidents include an April 2025 heat and hot water outage (later resolved) and multiple plumbing emergencies, with a similar bathtub/shower issue reported in December 2024. The building's violation history reveals both maintenance concerns and safety issues. In late 2024, HPD inspections documented various violations in Apartment 6E, including problems with the bathroom wash basin, window, and pest infestation, though these violations were certified as corrected by early 2025. A November 2024 inspection resulted in violations related to fire safety and access issues at the fire escape areas, including problems with the concrete landing pad, missing concrete pad under drop ladder, and vegetation obstructing drop ladder access - these were also certified as corrected.

The property underwent facade restoration work in 2021 that resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board violations related to scaffold safety and foreman training, though these were resolved with penalties paid. The building has consistently maintained a bedbug-free status since at least 2019, with no reported infestations in the annual bedbug reporting period from 2021 to 2024. While recent maintenance issues have persisted, particularly regarding plumbing and access for inspections, the property has generally demonstrated compliance with major safety regulations, as evidenced by the lack of serious violations in recent years. The structure underwent facade restoration work in 2021 that generated several safety violations, but these were promptly addressed according to records.
