143-06 Barclay Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

143-06 Barclay Avenue in Flushing is a 6-story, 96-unit residential building constructed in 1950, currently owned by Senada Avdic. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, with multiple elevator system and heating/cooling complaints documented between December 2024 and February 2025, including multiple emergency complaints of inadequate heat and hot water affecting the entire building. Recent inspections in early 2025 revealed various maintenance concerns, including unsanitary conditions with pests, electrical lighting issues, and indoor air quality concerns related to chemical vapors.

The building has also faced several infrastructure challenges, with documented violations related to roof access door latches and self-closing doors, particularly affecting the compactor closet on the 6th story. The Department of Buildings has investigated multiple complaints over the years, including concerns about illegal hotel rooms, plumbing work without permits, and electrical wiring issues. While there were reported incidents of bedbugs and rodent inspections in previous years (most recently in 2019), recent bedbug reports from 2021-2024 show no current infestations.

The building's maintenance history includes some positive outcomes, such as passing rodent inspections and having certain violations resolved, though there have been notable delays in access during inspections. The property has maintained an active response to complaints through various agencies, including HPD and DOHMH, though some violations were initially classified as non-emergency situations. The building has participated in regular bedbug reporting, with the last two years showing no documented infestations, and has addressed several environmental control board violations, including electrical work without proper permits.
