42-15 164th Street, Queens, NY 11358

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 42-15 164th Street in Flushing, owned by G & L NY Realty, LLC, has experienced several concerning issues over recent years, with particular attention needed to ongoing maintenance compliance. Most notably, there is an active violation as of June 2023 for failure to file the 2021 External Low-Pressure Inspection, with similar violations also recorded in April and June 2023 for not filing the 2022 and 2018 inspections, as well as a 2019 violation for not filing the 2017 Annual Boiler Inspection.

These violations suggest potential safety concerns related to the building's mechanical systems and require immediate attention to bring the building into compliance. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water, with three documented emergencies in 2022 (October and November) and one in April 2023, though in each case, heat and hot water were reported restored upon HPD's response. Additionally, there have been multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, particularly concerning pest infestations.

Between October 2022 and April 2023, at least five pest-related complaints were filed, with inspections conducted but no violations issued, though in some cases the inspectors were unable to gain access to the affected areas. A ventilation system complaint was also filed in March 2023, though again no violations were issued following the inspection. While many of these issues have been closed following inspections, the pattern of recurring heating system problems and pest-related complaints over this period suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
