144-03 Barclay Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The building at 144-03 Barclay Avenue in Flushing, owned by Adam Pokrzywa, is a 6-story, 49-unit New Law Tenement constructed in 1929. The property has experienced several notable issues recently, particularly between early 2025 and mid-2023, with the most concerning being multiple power outages (with violations issued) through May 2025, and recurring window-related problems including panes and frames requiring attention. There have also been persistent water leak issues documented in multiple complaints, including both slow and heavy flows.

Between 2023 and 2024, significant elevator safety concerns emerged, with multiple complaints about single-device elevator service and various safety violations, although some were subsequently dismissed or resolved. The October 2024 inspection revealed several notable building maintenance issues, including mold and water leak problems in the 1st-story public hall, with violations issued for improper repairs and maintenance of the ceiling and walls. Historical data shows a pattern of elevator service interruptions dating back several years, with Oath Violations served between 2018-2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges.

The building's maintenance history shows attention to pest management, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods (2019-2025). The property has had various other maintenance issues requiring attention, including plumbing problems (documented in 2025), and elevator safety concerns with multiple ECB violations related to door monitoring, braking systems, and other safety features between 2022-2023, though some of these were resolved or dismissed upon follow-up inspections. The building's age and classification as a New Law Tenement indicate it has required ongoing maintenance and repairs, with the most recent violations primarily focusing on electrical systems, water infrastructure, and stair/elevator safety features.
