192-07 42nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11358

The 26-unit, two-story building at 192-07 42nd Avenue in Flushing, owned by Steven Goodman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with complaints registered for the entire building in 2020-2021 and for individual apartments in late 2019. The building has also faced electrical system challenges, including power outages in 2022 and a series of outlet/switch issues in 2019 that resulted in violations.

Two serious violations remain open from September 2019 concerning a defective electrical outlet and self-closing door issues in Apartment 5. Health-related concerns were documented with multiple mosquito reports in 2018-2019 and rodent-related complaints in 2019, though more recent inspections showed no active infestations. The property has demonstrated improved conditions in recent years, with the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) showing no infested units, and multiple filings indicating proper eradication protocols were followed.

While there were several bedbug reporting violations noted in 2021-2022, these have since been resolved as evidenced by the clean recent filings. A significant improvement in overall building conditions is suggested by the lack of recent major complaints or violations, though it's worth noting that many earlier issues were not fully resolved despite temporary fixes, as indicated by the pattern of complaints requiring repeat filings for similar issues. The building's age (built in 1950) and history of maintenance issues suggest that while current conditions appear stable, the property has experienced periodic challenges with essential services over the past several years.
