140-30 Beech Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

140-30 Beech Avenue is a 33-unit, 4-story residential building located in Flushing, built in 1931 and currently owned by Jesus Gomez. The building has experienced recurring issues with pests, mold, and plumbing problems, particularly in recent years. Most notably, in February 2025, three significant complaints were filed and resolved regarding unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, along with a plumbing issue involving radiators.

Similar pest-related complaints were documented in August 2024, August 2021, and throughout 2022, with many inspections being unable to gain access to confirm the conditions. The building has also faced challenges with elevator service, with multiple complaints recorded between 2020-2021, though inspections found no violations. A concerning pattern of violations emerged in 2021-2022 related to Apartment 3R, including issues with water leaks, security systems, and missing safety devices, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though these were ultimately certified as corrected.

Recent inspections and complaints indicate ongoing maintenance challenges, with multiple violations related to building systems and safety features. The building's management has generally responded to violations, as evidenced by certified correction dates, though the persistence of certain issues suggests ongoing maintenance needs. The property has maintained a relatively routine procedure for addressing bedbug reports, with one confirmed case in 2022-2023 and no new infestations reported in subsequent years. The building's record shows a mix of resolved and persistent issues, with higher concentrations of complaints and violations occurring in 2021-2022, followed by similar but slightly reduced activity in 2024-2025.
