36-14 165th Street, Queens, NY 11358

The 6-story, 89-unit building at 36-14 165th Street in Flushing, owned by Stuart Berger, has experienced several significant maintenance issues recently, with the most pressing concerns occurring between April and June 2025. During this period, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water throughout the building, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). More recently, in June 2025, there were two indoor air quality complaints regarding chemical vapors, which were investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene with no violations cited.

The building has also faced challenges with pest control, as evidenced by unsanitary conditions complaints in May 2025 and April 2025, resulting in violations being issued. The property has a history of maintenance and compliance issues, though many have been addressed. In late 2024, several violations were documented in apartment 1JN, including water leak issues, defective self-closing doors, and mold conditions, though these were certified as corrected by late 2024.

The building's elevator system has been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about single device service and multiple devices on the property between 2021 and 2025, though inspections typically found no violations. The building's environmental history shows a mixed record, with periodical bedbug and rodent inspections suggesting some pest management challenges, though recent bedbug reports indicate no current infestations. The property has also undergone various exterior work as evidenced by multiple permit issuances between 2018 and 2020, including two separate exterior work permits issued on May 11, 2020.
