40-41 190th Street, Queens, NY 11358

The four-story, 16-unit tenement building at 40-41 190th Street in Flushing, constructed in 1926, has experienced significant heating system issues in recent months. Between March 30 and April 13, 2025, there were at least ten separate complaints recorded through 311 and Housing Maintenance Code complaints regarding lack of heat or hot water throughout the entire building, representing a recurring and potentially serious issue affecting resident comfort.

While some of these complaints were verified as resolved by HPD, there remains concern about the building's heating infrastructure. The building underwent multiple inspections and was issued several permits in 2019 for construction work, during which time there were three Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to construction notification procedures and tenant communications, though these were all resolved with no penalties imposed. Historical records show one maintenance violation in 2018 regarding gas leak notification procedures in the first-story public hall, and a 2019 violation concerning the intercom system in apartment 1C, though these were subsequently corrected.

The building's management has successfully maintained a bedbug-free record since at least 2018, with no reported infestations or eradication efforts in the past seven reporting periods. Multiple 311 complaints and HPD inspections between 2025 and 2019 indicate regular monitoring of building conditions, though the recent cluster of heating-related complaints suggests ongoing challenges with environmental systems. The building's ownership by 40 190th Street Mgt LLC is documented, and while there have been various complaints filed with the Department of Buildings over the years, most were determined to warrant no violation upon inspection, indicating relatively few major structural or safety concerns beyond the recent heating system issues.
