144-50 35th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

The 84-unit, 6-story building at 144-50 35th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Chaim Schweid, has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges throughout 2025, particularly regarding heat and hot water issues. Between January and March 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints about heating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with violations issued in March 2025.

Additionally, there have been recurring issues with water and moisture problems, including slow leaks and mold, with the most recent complaints filed in June 2025. The building's maintenance history also shows significant concerns regarding Apartment 2F, which has multiple violations from a December 2024 inspection related to lead paint hazards, water leaks, and various surface conditions, though most of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by January 2025. The building has faced more serious structural and safety concerns in recent years, including fire damage documented in 2023 inspections showing affected units on the 5th and 6th floors, though these violations were later dismissed.

Historical records indicate a past incident involving unauthorized construction work in 2018, resulting in a $1,250 penalty for improper bedroom modifications in Apartment 1F. While the building has maintained a consistent record of being bedbug-free since 2019, with no reported infestations in the past five years, there were rodent activity issues noted in 2011. The Department of Buildings has conducted various inspections and investigations, with the most recent Local Law 188 compliance inspection in 2023 showing no violations at the time of inspection.
