Augrented Insights Report for 138-49 Elder Avenue

138-49 Elder Avenue is a 12-story, 191-unit residential building in Flushing, constructed in 1983 and currently owned by David Wanetik. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues, with multiple complaints documented between 2022 and 2025, including three separate incidents in June 2025 and several throughout 2023.

An electric power outage was reported and resolved in June 2025. The building's elevator system has been a consistent area of concern, with multiple complaints recorded between 2021-2023 regarding service interruptions, including a hazardous condition violation in early 2023 that resulted in a $3,125 penalty.

The property has demonstrated some pest management challenges, though recent bedbug reports (2024-2025) show only one instance of infestation in late 2024, with successful eradication recorded. Several maintenance violations have been documented, including open violations from 2018 related to defective plaster surfaces and baseboard heaters in Apartment 4E, though many recent DOB violations concerning pressure inspections and benchmarking reports have been dismissed or resolved. The building has maintained communication with regulatory authorities, with the most recent bedbug and rodent inspection reports showing improvement, and permits were issued in 2024 for various works, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance efforts.
