142-25 37th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

142-25 37th Avenue in Flushing is a 7-story, 30-unit residential building constructed in 2005, currently owned by Kam Wong. The property has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations, including four consecutive annual violations from 2021 to 2024 regarding the failure to file required bedbug reports.

More importantly, there are significant active violations related to building inspections and safety requirements: an Environmental Control Board violation from October 2024 regarding the failure to submit a required parking structure observation report with a $12,500 penalty, and another from April 2024 concerning an exterior wall examination report with a $1,280 penalty. The building also has two active DOB violations from 2023 for failure to file an Energy Benchmarking Report and a FISP Cycle 9B technical report. The building's history shows previous concerns with elevator maintenance, including violations in 2019 for failure to correct defects identified in a 2017 inspection, though these were ultimately dismissed.

There were also issues with gas hook-up/piping in 2019, which required two inspection attempts before the inspector could gain access. While the building is relatively new and has undergone various inspections, the pattern of open violations and failure to submit required reports suggests ongoing management challenges, particularly concerning compliance with safety and reporting requirements. A recent smoking or vaping complaint from June 2024 related to a smoke-free area was responded to by the NYC Health Department, though the resolution details are not specified.
