36-20 Parsons Boulevard, Queens, NY 11354

36-20 Parsons Boulevard is a 6-story, 42-unit residential building in Flushing, constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Thomas Fan. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centered around heating systems, as evidenced by multiple building-wide heat/hot water complaints in early 2025 that HPD was unable to fully investigate due to access issues.

In July 2024, the building underwent several inspections resulting in multiple violations, including issues with paint/plaster conditions on walls and ceilings, door/window problems, and safety concerns regarding a broken window guard. The building has a history of pest issues, with violations for rodent activity documented in 2023 and previous years, and multiple bedbug infestations reported between 2019-2021, though recent filings show no current infestations. The property has faced systemic infrastructure challenges, including multiple boiler complaints between 2020-2022, elevator service issues, and violations regarding energy efficiency score display requirements.

Notably, in 2022, there was a significant incident involving unauthorized plumbing and electrical work in Apartment 1E, which resulted in a $2,500 ECB violation penalty, though this appears to be resolved. The building's compliance record shows both active and resolved violations for various maintenance issues, including interior apartment conditions that required attention. While recent bedbug reports indicate no current infestations and rat activity inspections show some improvement, the building continues to grapple with fundamental maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and building-wide infrastructure.
