143-40 41st Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

143-40 41st Avenue is a 6-story, 74-unit residential building in Flushing, constructed in 1962 and currently owned by Meiyong Chan. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with 11 documented complaints between November 2024 and February 2025, though most were resolved quickly with heat and hot water restoration confirmed by occupants. There are several concerning active maintenance issues, particularly in Apartments 2A, 2K, and 4H, including problems with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, self-closing doors, and visible mold in Apartment 4H's bathroom.

The building's exterior has multiple active Environmental Control Board violations from 2019-2022 regarding wall maintenance and water seepage issues at Apartment 4E, with associated penalties totaling $12,500. The elevator system has been a persistent source of complaints, with multiple "Single Device/No Alternate Service" reports throughout 2023 and early 2025, though most inspections found no violations or resulted in dismissed complaints. There are active violations for failing to submit Energy Efficiency Report (EER) documentation for multiple years (2020-2023) and for failing to file benchmarking reports of energy use.

Historical records show one bedbug incident in 2020-2021, but recent filings (2021-2024) indicate no further infestations. While the building passed a rodent inspection in 2011, this was the only such report on record. The property has undergone some permitted work related to electrical and plumbing systems, with permits issued in February 2019.
