34-05 146th Street, Queens, NY 11354

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 34-05 146th Street in Flushing, owned by Dimitra Charalampakis, has recently experienced several concerning maintenance issues as of December 2023. Multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in various violations across safety, plumbing, and maintenance categories.

These included problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, water supply systems, toilet functionality, and mold, along with violations related to ceiling paint/plaster conditions. The most significant of these violations, due to their direct impact on resident safety, were related to safety systems including carbon monoxide detectors and smoke detectors, both of which received 'Immediate Emergency' classifications. The building currently has several open violations from the December 2023 inspection, specifically affecting apartment 3RDFLO (the third-floor, first apartment from East at South).

These violations involve defective smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detecting devices, broken plastered surfaces and paint in consistent color on the ceilings in both the kitchen and bathroom, plumbing issues with the toilet flushing apparatus, and a roof leak affecting the kitchen ceiling. There are also open Class A violations regarding required postings and documentation in the building's entrance area. While the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations or re-infestations from 2019 to present, the recent cluster of safety and maintenance violations suggests significant ongoing maintenance challenges that require attention.
