42-36 157th Street, Queens, NY 11355
The three-story, three-unit residential building at 42-36 157th Street in Flushing, owned by Anthony Chiu, was constructed in 1989 and has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning are the ongoing elevator service problems, with multiple violations documented between 2018 and 2025, including five separate incidents of "No Alternate Service" between 2024 and 2025, with the most recent active complaint entered in May 2025.
The building has also faced regulatory compliance challenges, with eight active violations as of June 2023 regarding failure to file external low pressure inspections for 2020 and 2021, representing a significant safety oversight. The property has experienced intermittent heating and hot water issues, as evidenced by a March 2021 complaint that required HPD intervention, though these were reportedly resolved promptly.
While there have been multiple notices of violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements from 2021 to 2024, the building's official bedbug reports for 2019 through 2024 indicate no confirmed infestations, with all reported units being successfully treated and eradicated. The most recent bedbug report from May 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023 shows no infested dwelling units. The building's management has generally responded to regulatory requirements, as demonstrated by the regular filing of bedbug reports over the years, though there is still an open violation related to the failure to file certain inspection reports.
