144-25 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens, NY 11354
144-25 Roosevelt Avenue is a 161-unit, 6-story residential building located in Flushing, built in 1962 and currently owned by Richard Podpirka. The building has experienced recurring heating system issues in early 2025, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting both the entire building and individual apartments between January and April 2025. Additionally, recent complaints from April 2025 indicate problems with plumbing (basin/sink), flooring, radiator maintenance, and mold, though Health and Building Departments were unable to complete inspections for these issues. The property has a history of code compliance challenges, notably with a current active ECB violation (issued November 2023) regarding unauthorized occupancy and unpermitted modifications in the cellar area, which allegedly involved constructing full-height partitions, bathrooms, kitchen, and plumbing fixtures.
Previous violations from 2023-2024 showed issues requiring attention in multiple apartments, including problems with self-closing doors, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors in apartments 225, 602, and 415. The building has undergone several Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections between 2023-2024, with some resulting in no violations being found, while others indicated areas needing correction. While there have been bedbug infestations reported in the building over the past eight reporting periods (2018-2024), the most recent filing period (2023-2024) only showed one unit affected, suggesting improved management of this issue. The building's rodent inspection record shows one failed inspection in 2016 but passed inspections in 2016 and 2022.
Recent violations related to building safety systems, such as fire alarms and emergency equipment, have been addressed as evidenced by the issuance of work permits, though there remains an active complaint from 2023 regarding unauthorized modifications. In summary, 144-25 Roosevelt Avenue is currently facing challenges with its heating system and has ongoing maintenance issues requiring attention. The building has a documented history of various code violations and compliance issues, particularly concerning safety equipment and unauthorized modifications, though many historical violations have been resolved through proper remediation. The property has shown improvement in managing bedbug infestations in recent years, and rodent conditions have been addressed through passing inspections.
