189-02 35th Avenue, Queens, NY 11358

189-02 35th Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building in Flushing, owned by Gloria Kou and constructed in 1935. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns being two open Class A violations regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD in 2023 and 2024.

In 2022, there were multiple simultaneous housing maintenance code complaints and violations, particularly affecting Apartment A, including issues related to lead-based paint hazards, defective doors, and safety equipment. These issues were generally addressed by the time of their certification dates, with specific repairs including bathroom ceiling plastering, smoke detector replacement, and lead paint remediation completed by September 2022. The building has also faced challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by failed inspections in July and September 2022, and had unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage that inspectors were unable to access in June 2022.

Prior to these issues, the building underwent various maintenance works in February 2022, including attention to paint/plaster conditions on walls, windows, and door frames. While there was a report of illegal after-hours work in August 2022, this complaint was determined to have no violations upon inspection. As of July 2025, the most recent available inspection results indicate that the property has addressed many past violations, though the ongoing bedbug report compliance issue remains open.
