132-61 Maple Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The two-story, three-unit building at 132-61 Maple Avenue in Flushing, owned by Oksana Orach, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns regarding heating infrastructure. The property, constructed in 1930 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has documented four heat and hot water complaints between 2021 and 2022, with two being for the entire building (in April 2021 and January 2022) where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection, and one (November 2021) where tenants reported the issue had been resolved before inspection.

Additionally, there was an electrical power outage incident in August 2021 that resulted in an HPD inspection but no violations were issued. The building has also faced regulatory compliance challenges, particularly regarding safety notifications and reporting requirements. In August 2021, multiple violations were recorded relating to safety documentation, including the need to properly display inspection certificates, smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and gas leak procedures.

All these violations were subsequently certified as corrected by December 2021. More recently, the building was found to have outstanding issues with bedbug reporting, receiving violations in 2021, 2022, and 2024 regarding the annual bedbug report requirement, though the most recent filing in August 2024 indicates no current infestations or treatment history for the period between November 2022 and October 2023. The only rodent inspection on record from 2011 showed a passing result, and there have been no documented rodent issues since then.
