36-35 167th Street, Queens, NY 11358

The 73-unit, 6-story building at 36-35 167th Street in Flushing, owned by Adam Donner and built in 1942, has experienced several recurring issues in recent years, most notably related to heat and hot water outages. Between October 2023 and January 2025, there have been four documented instances of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with the most recent incident occurring in January 2025.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges, including multiple violations related to mold, a serious unsanitary condition, and flooring issues documented in May 2023. Apartment 4L specifically had documented violations in 2023 for mold, pest infestation, and floor tile damage, all of which were certified as corrected by June 2023. Looking at the building's history, there was a notable incident in 2019-2020 involving ceiling collapse in apartment 4D, and the building has had two structural stability complaints in late 2019 that resulted in a violation being served.

Various safety and maintenance issues have been addressed, including repairs to fire escape components in 2023, though the building experienced a similar heat/hot water outage in 2020. On a positive note, the building has maintained a bedbug-free status for the past four reporting periods (2021-2024), with only one previous instance in 2019 that was promptly addressed. While many violations and service requests have been resolved, the recurring nature of the heat and hot water issues suggests this remains a persistent challenge for the building's management.
