143-36 Barclay Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

143-36 Barclay Avenue is a 6-story, 55-unit residential building constructed in 1957 and currently owned by Milimir Djogovic. The property has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water service across all units, with ten documented complaints between November 2024 and February 2025, suggesting an ongoing maintenance challenge in this critical system.

The building has also accumulated several open violations related to safety and maintenance, including three active Housing Maintenance Code Violations from November 2024 concerning fire door functionality, public hall ceiling conditions, and roof leakage on the 6th story. Additionally, there are multiple open Department of Buildings violations related to the failure to submit Elevator Inspection Reports (EER) for multiple years between 2020-2023, which is particularly concerning given the building's history of elevator issues. The building's elevator system has been a consistent source of problems, with multiple complaints recorded between 2019-2021, and two Environmental Control Board violations in 2020 relating to elevator service and maintenance.

While the property has shown regular inspection for bedbugs with consistently reporting no active infestations from 2020 through 2024, it had one rodent-related violation as recent as 2024-06-23. Several building-wide inspections have revealed various issues, including non-self-closing fire doors and maintenance concerns in the public areas, though many past violations appear to have been addressed or closed. The building's systems and infrastructure show a pattern of requiring ongoing attention, particularly concerning heat and hot water service reliability and elevator maintenance compliance.
