56-75 136Th Street, Queens, NY 11355

The three-story, seven-unit building at 56-75 136th Street in Flushing, owned by Paul Pescatore, was constructed in 2019 and has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues since its completion. Most recently, in March 2025, the building received multiple service requests and Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding various maintenance issues, including problems with doors/windows (frames and hardware), a ventilation system, a refrigerator, plumbing (toilet), and electrical outlets/switches.

Inspections related to these complaints were either not completed or did not find housing law violations, though one plumbing issue was classified as an emergency. The building's history shows some concerning patterns, particularly during 2020 when multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations were filed regarding construction safety compliance, work without a permit, and site conditions endangering workers, though most of these were resolved with no violations warranted at the time of inspection.

A notable violation from September 2020 regarding failure to certify correction on an immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violation was dismissed by November 2020. However, the property has maintained a clean bedbug record in recent filings for 2023-2025, with no reported infestations or eradications. The building's permit history shows regular maintenance and improvement work being conducted, with several permits issued between 2019 and 2021 for various building systems, including plumbing, electrical, and general construction work.
