168-18 Crocheron Avenue, Queens, NY 11358

The four-story, 16-unit tenement at 168-18 Crocheron Avenue in Flushing, built in 1928 and currently owned by William Goodman, has exhibited several maintenance issues over recent years. Most concerning is the current open emergency issue from June 2025 regarding door/window concerns, and a non-emergency pest-related issue from the same month. The building has a documented history of water and pest problems, with heavy flow water leak issues and unsanitary pest conditions reported in 2019, both of which were closed without inspection.

Violation records show an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding failure to file the annual bedbug report, though previous reporting periods from 2019-2022 showed zero confirmed infestations. The boiler system has been a recurring concern, with complaints about defective or inoperative equipment recorded in both 2023 and 2021, though 2023 resulted in no violation being warranted at the time of inspection. An Environmental Control Board violation from 2021 noted a missing clean-out at the base of the chimney, which was resolved with no penalties imposed.

The building's recent maintenance history suggests ongoing concerns with pest control and door/window maintenance, while previous issues with water leaks and boiler functionality have been addressed, at least temporarily. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2022, with no documented infestations during the past three reporting periods. The current open maintenance issues should be monitored for resolution, as they directly impact resident comfort and safety.
