36-41 168th Street, Queens, NY 11358

The 4-story, 7-unit building at 36-41 168th Street in Flushing, owned by Madeline Faraci, was constructed in 2017 and has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over its operational history. Most recently, in February 2023, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water shortages, with some complaints filed as emergencies, though HPD inspections were unable to gain access to the affected apartments.

These heating issues dated back to previous years, with similar complaints documented in January and February 2021, all of which were eventually resolved according to tenant reports. The building has also faced several maintenance and safety concerns, including two Class A violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2023 and 2024, which were later addressed.

Apartment 4A had specific issues in early 2023 involving a loose sprinkler cap and defective self-closing doors, though these violations were closed by May 2023. The property has maintained a consistently low bedbug infestation record across multiple reporting periods from 2017 through 2024, with no infested units reported in the last five annual filings. While the building had notable heating system challenges during its first several years, the recent focus on bedbug reporting compliance and improvements to unit-specific issues suggest ongoing maintenance attention from management.
