37-07 147th Street, Queens, NY 11354

The 95-unit, 6-story building at 37-07 147th Street in Flushing, owned by Howard Dublin and built in 1962, has experienced recurring infrastructure and maintenance issues throughout 2025. Most concerning are recent reports of mold (May 2025) and persistent heat/hot water problems, with multiple complaints documented between January and April 2025.

The building has also faced numerous violations related to fire safety, including defective doors and egress systems, particularly noted in late 2024 inspections. Environmental concerns have been highlighted, with mold violations affecting apartment 4M documented in 2024, along with structural issues leading to an active ECB violation regarding public safety from August 2024 with a $2,500 penalty. The property has a documented history of elevator maintenance concerns, with multiple complaints filed between 2023-2025, though inspections consistently found no violations.

Earlier maintenance issues in 2024 included window frame problems and general wear-and-tear requiring repairs in apartment 4M, including bathroom mold, plaster damage, and defective vinyl floor tiles. The building's management has generally addressed violations, as evidenced by their "closed" status, though recent service requests indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. Notably, the building has maintained a status of zero bedbug infestations reported in the latest three annual filings (2022-2024), with only two cases noted in 2021, and has passed recent rodent inspections in 2018 and 2017, suggesting effective pest management.
