142-24 38th Avenue, Queens, NY 11354
The 6-story, 68-unit residential building at 142-24 38th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Adam Pokrzywa and constructed in 1965, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly regarding its elevator system and general building upkeep. As of April 2025, there remains an open complaint regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage. The building has faced recurring elevator service issues, with multiple complaints between 2023 and 2025 indicating periods of the only elevator being out of service.
This culminated in at least one Class C ECB violation in July 2024 regarding hazardous conditions due to the elevator being out of service. Building facade maintenance has been a concern, with active ECB violations as of 2024 and 2025 indicating cracked concrete and loose materials on the west and south elevations, along with failure to submit required parking structure inspection reports. The property has been subject to multiple Housing Maintenance Code complaints, with the most recent being a heat/hot water issue in January 2025 and various water leak and door/window related problems throughout 2024.
Apartment 508 on the 4th floor has documented violations regarding plumbing fixtures and ceiling/wall conditions as of September 2024. While there have been several inspections and service requests, the building has consistently demonstrated issues with maintaining required building safety features, including fire door functionality and egress pathways. However, on a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five years, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2024, and has passed recent rodent inspections. The property, built in 1965, has undergone various maintenance challenges typical of older buildings, particularly related to elevator service and facade maintenance, as evidenced by multiple Department of Buildings violations and ECB fines.
