142-12 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11355
142-12 41st Avenue, a 6-story residential building with 42 units built in 1968 and currently owned by Eric Bluestone, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during winter 2024-2025. The building has faced multiple heat and hot water problems, with eight documented complaints between December 2024 and February 2025, some affecting the entire building and others specific to individual apartments. Additionally, there were concerns about water damage in January 2025, with violations issued by HPD related to heavy flow water leaks and ceiling plaster issues.
The building's maintenance history reveals recurring problems with building systems and safety features. In 2024, multiple violations were documented regarding fire safety doors in the basement, including defective latches and self-closing mechanisms. A December 2022 inspection identified issues in Apartment 3B, including a pest infestation (with violations relating to mice and roaches), defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a hot water temperature issue. While the building has undergone various inspections and received citations for various violations over the years, most have been resolved or dismissed, including several regarding energy efficiency score displays between 2018 and 2023.
The property has experienced periodic bedbug infestations, though recent reports from 2023-2025 show no current infestations. Recent complaints regarding illegal hotel rooms and conversions have been filed against the building, with inspectors repeatedly unable to gain access during inspections between 2023 and 2025. The elevator system received attention in 2019 for a safety-related violation, and there was an environmental control board violation related to elevator safety in 2018, which was resolved with a penalty. The building's overall history shows a pattern of maintenance issues primarily related to building systems (heat, hot water, plumbing), safety features (fire doors, detectors), and occasional pest infestations, though many violations have been addressed or resolved through inspections and repairs.
