35-15 146th Street, Queens, NY 11354

The 36-unit, 4-story residential building at 35-15 146th Street in Flushing, owned by Jessica Chang, was constructed in 2022 and has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues since its opening. Most concerning is a recent rodent infestation, with inspections in 2025 showing rat activity that resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, particularly in early 2021, though these were reportedly resolved upon inspection.

Multiple maintenance problems were documented in August 2020, including issues with the bell/buzzer/intercom system, water leaks, and various paint/plaster concerns, though most of these received no violations upon inspection. The building's construction phase (2022) was marked by several safety compliance issues, with multiple Department of Buildings complaints related to construction safety, including violations for inadequate guardrails, unsafe equipment, and improperly maintained scaffolding. These resulted in various penalties, though most were ultimately resolved.

While there have been no reports of bedbug infestations since the building's opening, and the most recent rodent inspections have shown compliance in some instances, the property has experienced recurring pest issues, with multiple rat activity findings between 2020 and 2025. Recent DOB violations related to filing requirements have been dismissed, suggesting some level of compliance with regulatory obligations. The building's systems, including elevators and fire safety equipment, have also required ongoing attention, as evidenced by multiple violations and inspections in 2023-2024.
