170-06 Crocheron Avenue, Queens, NY 11358

At 170-06 Crocheron Avenue in Flushing, a 6-story, 48-unit building constructed in 1951 and currently owned by Mikhail Podolskiy, several significant issues have emerged regarding building maintenance and resident comfort. Most notably, as of May 2025, there is an active heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, continuing a concerning pattern documented through multiple similar complaints between 2022 and 2025. These heating system issues appear to be a recurring problem, with at least eight documented complaints over the past two years.

The building has also experienced sanitation challenges, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage (June - August 2023), though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. The property has multiple open violations requiring attention, including an active ECB violation from 2020 regarding a problematic elevator mechanism with an associated $1,250 penalty. Safety concerns have been documented, particularly in 2021, when violations were recorded for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 6G, and issues with public hall maintenance, including unpainted areas and defective fire retardant materials.

Compliance matters are also evident, with active violations related to FISP Cycle 9C Technical Report filing requirements as of February 2024, and previous issues regarding the building's energy efficiency score display. However, the building appears to have maintained a pest-free environment, with no bedbug reports filed in the past six years according to official records from 2019-2024. There have been additional historical maintenance concerns, such as problems with the sprinkler system and elevator service, particularly noted in complaints from 2018-2022, though many of these are now marked as resolved.
