144-15 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

144-15 41st Avenue in Flushing is a 6-story, 111-unit residential building constructed in 1959, currently owned by Michael Young. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, with three heat/hot water complaints in 2024 alone, two of which were classified as emergencies involving the entire building. Pest problems have also been documented, with a September 2024 inspection resulting in violations for both roach and mouse infestations in 6th floor apartment 610.

The building has faced multiple gas-related complaints over the past three years, with the most recent cooking gas complaint still open as of November 2022. Recent safety concerns were addressed in late 2023, when multiple violations were documented regarding self-closing doors in the basement areas, including those to the laundry room and various exit doors. These violations were certified as corrected by November 2023.

The building's maintenance history includes several inspection failures due to inability to gain access for verification of reported issues. Notably, there has been evidence of bedbug activity in recent years, with the most recent report from December 2024 showing infestations in three units, though all were reported as eradicated. The property has a history of illegal conversion complaints between 2019 and 2024, though inspectors typically could not gain access to verify the claims. While most violations and complaints have been addressed and closed, the pattern of recurring heating, pest, and gas-related issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
