143-08 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

The 79-unit, 6-story residential building at 143-08 Roosevelt Avenue in Flushing, owned by Jordan Platt, has experienced several significant issues in recent years. Most notably, in April 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to pests and a broken window guard, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these reports. In early 2024, the building faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints between January and December 2024, affecting either the entire building or individual apartments.

The building's maintenance and safety systems have shown ongoing concerns, with the most recent Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2024 citing problems with self-closing doors at various locations, including lobby and compactor room doors. The property has a documented history of pest issues, with multiple pest-related complaints in recent years, including a specific violation for a mouse infestation in apartment 205 in 2023. While the building has had bedbug incidents reported between 2019-2021, the last three annual filings (2021-2024) show zero infested units.

Building safety and maintenance concerns were also evident in 2025, with complaints about window security and illegal hotel rooms. Infrastructure issues have been addressed in the past, including a 2018 violation regarding the building facade and balcony conditions. The building's elevator systems were the subject of multiple complaints and inspections between 2020-2022, though these violations were ultimately resolved. Recent housing maintenance code violations were generally addressed and closed, with only one open violation as of December 2024 regarding gas leak safety notices in the basement.
