36-25 Union Street, Queens, NY 11354

The 11-story, 63-unit building at 36-25 Union Street in Flushing, owned by Hee Sok Chung and constructed in 1984, has experienced recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems throughout 2024 and into 2025. The most recent complaint in February 2025 marked the eighth reported instance of temperature control problems, with several complaints indicating system failures across the entire building. While many of these complaints were ultimately closed due to restored service being confirmed during inspections or by tenants, the pattern suggests persistent infrastructure challenges.

The building is currently dealing with multiple open violations from a July 2024 inspection, including issues with roach infestations, security door latches, and various required safety signage related to carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and heating system access. Historical records show attention to elevator safety concerns in 2022, with violations related to hoist rope shortening and door lock monitoring, though these were resolved without penalties. Regular bedbug inspections from 2019 through 2024 indicate no infestations, and the building passed a rodent inspection in December 2021.

The property's documentation reveals attention to compliance issues with Local Law 188/17 and FISP reporting requirements, with the most recent FISP-related violation from February 2023 remaining active as of the current year. Multiple service requests throughout 2024 and early 2025 regarding heat and hot water issues, along with a plumbing incident in July 2024, though generally resolved or closed, highlight ongoing concerns about building systems and maintenance response. The periodic bedbug and rodent inspections suggest successful pest management, with all reports indicating zero affected units. A patented security door latch issue identified in July 2024, though previously documented and corrected, suggests recurring maintenance challenges.
