144-77 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens, NY 11354

144-77 Roosevelt Avenue in Flushing is an 11-story, 80-unit residential building owned by Shinyoung Ahn, constructed in 1983. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, most notably a water leak complaint reported in January 2022 that required HPD intervention, though inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation.

The building received two Housing Maintenance Code violations in March 2022 related to safety requirements for emergency notifications in the first-story public hall, though these were certified as resolved by July 2022. Additional Department of Buildings inspections in late 2024, including a Local Law 188/17 compliance check, found no violations at the time of inspection. The property has a documented history of various violations and compliance issues dating back to 2018, including three Environmental Control Board violations in April 2022 concerning inadequate pedestrian protection and improper installation of temporary equipment, which resulted in fines totaling $3,025.

Previous violations from 2018 required the submission of an 8th round report regarding the condition of exterior walls, for which a penalty of $1,280 was imposed. While there were several DOB violations recorded in 2020 and 2021, these were all dismissed in December 2022 based on subsequent reports showing that the defects had been corrected. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations since 2018, with all reporting periods showing zero infested units, eradications, or re-infestations.
