144-27 35th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

The 86-unit, 6-story residential building at 144-27 35th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Alex Siminiouk and constructed in 1969, has experienced persistent heating system issues throughout 2025, with ten documented heat and hot water complaints between March and April 2025, including several instances of HPD inspectors unable to gain access to units for verification. These complaints appear to represent a recurring system failure affecting the entire building, amounting to an emergency situation requiring immediate attention.

Historical records from 2022 show several notable maintenance concerns, including three Housing Maintenance Code violations in apartment 5B related to mold remediation, bathroom painting requirements, and a fire escape door knob assembly issue, though these were subsequently resolved. The building has had three illegal conversion complaints (2018, 2020) and two scaffolding-related complaints (2022), though inspections found no violations in these cases. An elevator violation from 2019 remains active, related to failure to correct defects noted in a 2017 inspection.

The property has generally maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations in recent years, with only two documented cases (2021 and 2024) showing successful eradication. The current heating system issues represent the most significant ongoing concern for this property as of April 2025, with a pattern of complaints suggesting possible systemic infrastructure problems. While other historical violations and complaints have been resolved, the persistence of heating-related issues over multiple months in early 2025 indicates a potentially pressing maintenance challenge that merits continued monitoring.
