144-23 Barclay Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

144-23 Barclay Avenue is a 6-story, 24-unit residential building constructed in 1988 and owned by Oi Young, located in Flushing. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly concerning its elevator system, which became a major concern between 2020-2021.

During this period, there were multiple complaints about the elevator being out of service, leading to Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations in November 2020, with penalties imposed for creating hazardous conditions. More recently, there are open violations as of June 2023 for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for multiple years (2018-2020), as well as violations for not displaying energy efficiency scores and failing to submit required benchmarking reports. The building has also had recurring issues with bedbug report compliance, receiving violations between 2021-2024 for not filing annual reports, though the most recent 2023-2024 report shows no current infestations or eradication efforts.

The property has a mixed record regarding timely resolution of violations. While some issues have been resolved or dismissed (such as a 2021 ECB violation based on subsequent inspections), numerous active violations remain as of 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance compliance challenges. The building's systems and compliance history indicate a pattern of issues requiring attention, particularly in relation to safety systems like elevators and adherence to reporting requirements for both bedbugs and building inspections.
