143-55 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The 78-unit, 6-story building at 143-55 41st Avenue in Flushing, owned by Ronglin Wang, has experienced recurring temperature control issues, with multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water throughout 2023-2024, most recently in December 2024. These emergency situations, affecting the entire building, were generally resolved promptly but indicate an ongoing system reliability concern.

The building has also faced plumbing and water supply challenges, with violations noted in December 2023 and April 2024, including issues with water leaks and bathroom ceiling problems in apartment 1A. April 2024 inspections revealed multiple maintenance violations, particularly affecting apartment 1A, including an infestation of roaches, water leak issues, and mold conditions, along with problems in public areas involving defective self-closing doors and compactor closet issues. The building's infrastructure has shown persistent challenges, particularly with its elevator system, which has been the subject of multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections and Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations regarding safety equipment and maintenance since 2018, with active violations still pending as of 2024.

Recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 showed no bedbug infestations, though there were documented rodent activity issues in 2018-2019. The property has several active DOB violations related to failure to submit required inspections and reports, dating back to 2019, including issues with boiler inspection and elevator maintenance compliance. While the building has maintained a record of addressing most housing maintenance code complaints, the frequency of heat/hot water issues and various maintenance violations suggests recurring challenges with building systems and infrastructure management.
