34-02 153rd Street, Queens, NY 11354

34-02 153rd Street is a 40-unit, four-story residential building located in Flushing, constructed in 1926 as a New Law Tenement. The property has experienced recurring heating system issues throughout 2025, with multiple complaints documented between March and May 2025 regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building. While most of these complaints were eventually closed after inspections were conducted or when heat and hot water were reportedly restored, some complaints noted difficulty in accessing apartments for verification.

These heating issues appear to be persistent, with a similar pattern of complaints emerging repeatedly during this period. The building's maintenance history from recent years reveals several concerning health and safety issues. Apartment A8 was found in October 2024 to have multiple violations related to defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, as well as infestations of roaches and mice. Apartment A9 had documented issues including water leaks, mold, and plaster damage in mid-2024, though these violations were later certified as corrected.

Additional violations from 2022 include problems with boiler equipment that resulted in an oath violation. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations over the past six years according to the bedbug reporting system. Two sidewalk shed inspections in early 2025 were conducted, finding no violations at the time of inspection or fully rescinding a previously issued stop work order. The property owner is John Milevoi, and while many violations have been closed through proper certification, several remain open in different departments, indicating ongoing maintenance requirements.
