144-89 38th Ave, Queens, NY 11354

The 22-unit, 6-story residential building at 144-89 38th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Munlai Chang, was constructed in 2016 and has maintained generally good records since then. The most pressing current concerns involve elevator issues, with active complaints as of 2025 regarding "Single Device on Property/No Alternate Service." Previous inspection attempts in early 2025 and late 2019 were unsuccessful due to inspection access issues. The building experienced a water leak incident in August 2022, which was investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but resulted in no violations.

The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting compliance checks from 2020 through 2024, with all reports indicating zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units - suggesting effective pest management protocols have been maintained. Multiple smoking violation complaints were filed between June 2022 and August 2022, all of which were addressed and closed, as recorded by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. The building's construction was properly documented, with plumbing (PL) and new building (NB) permits issued in February 2019.

An annual bedbug report violation was noted in 2021, but this appears to have been rectified, as evidenced by subsequent compliant filings showing no infestations. While the building is relatively new and has had no major safety violations or crisis events on record, the persistent elevator issues and historical smoking violations suggest areas for continued monitoring. However, the effective management of bedbug compliance and the relatively quick resolution of most service requests indicate generally responsive building management practices.
