170-20 Crocheron Avenue, Queens, NY 11358

170-20 Crocheron Avenue is a 3-story residential building in Flushing, Queens, containing 24 units and owned by Jake Demosthenous. Built in 1981, this Class A building has experienced recurring plumbing issues over the past five years, with emergency complaints registered in 2023 (sink issues) and 2020 (water supply problems), both of which were closed due to inability of HPD inspectors to gain access for verification.

The building has demonstrated consistent pest control management regarding bedbugs, with no infestations reported in six consecutive annual filings between 2019 and 2024, though there were two rat sightings reported in September 2018 that prompted DOHMH inspections, with the initial inspection resulting in a passing grade. The property's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing-related complaints, with both the 2020 and 2023 issues being categorized as emergencies under the Housing Maintenance Code.

While the building's bedbug reporting record is exemplary, showing zero infestations or eradications since 2019, the inability to gain access for plumbing inspections raises potential concerns about maintenance responsiveness. The building appears to have maintained basic health and safety standards, as evidenced by the passage of the rat inspection in 2018 and the absence of bedbug infestations in recent years. However, the recurring nature of plumbing complaints suggests this has been an ongoing maintenance challenge for the property.
