142-19 Barclay Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

142-19 Barclay Avenue is a 6-story, 63-unit residential building constructed in 1958 and currently owned by Steven Krumholz. The Flushing property has experienced recurring heating system issues, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building between 2018 and 2024, though most were resolved promptly, often within days of reporting. The building underwent significant maintenance inspections in late 2023 and early 2024, revealing several building code violations primarily related to door maintenance, including non-functioning self-closing doors in various areas such as the compactor room and laundry room, which were subsequently addressed in late 2024.

There are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2022 regarding non-compliance with the FISP Cycle 9A Technical Report requirements, though these are not directly related to building operations. The property has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no documented cases of bedbug infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2019 to 2025, and passed its last rodent inspection in 2011. Historical complaints dating back to 2019 included some plumbing issues with bathtubs/showers, but these were resolved without violations being issued.

A 2019 illegal conversion complaint was investigated but no violations were found at that time. The building has consistently responded to maintenance complaints through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though access issues sometimes prevented complete inspections. While the building continues to require attention to its heating system, particularly evident in recent late-2024 complaints, other areas of maintenance appear to be addressed promptly when brought to management's attention.
