42-62 157th Street, Queens, NY 11355
The four-story, 35-unit tenement building at 42-62 157th Street in Flushing, owned by Marie Limandri, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2021, with the most recent being an open heat/hot water complaint reported in October 2024. The building's most significant recent challenges have involved basic utilities and habitability concerns, including multiple heat and hot water outages (both apartment-specific and building-wide) in 2022 and 2024, as well as plumbing problems affecting bathtubs/showers and sinks. A concerning cluster of issues emerged in March 2022 involving unsanitary conditions, including violations for pests and mold.
The building has also faced compliance issues related to lead paint hazard controls, with violations recorded in 2023 affecting multiple apartments (A2, A3, A4, B1, B2, B3) regarding failure to properly certify lead paint safety. Two significant building violations from 2021 noted hazards related to improperly installed window brackets and obstructed fire escape pathways, though these were eventually resolved with penalties. The property appears to have maintained effective pest control measures, as evidenced by six consecutive bedbug reporting periods (2019-2024) showing zero infested units.
Recent inspection records indicate active compliance efforts, with a 2025 Local Law 188 inspection finding no violations. While there have been multiple emergency complaints and violations since 2021, the building management has generally responded to and resolved issues within reasonable timeframes, though some violations, particularly regarding lead paint compliance, have remained open. The most recent inspection records from 2024 show only one open violation related to bedbug reporting requirements, with all other recent violations either closed or resolved.
