156-12 43rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

156-12 43rd Avenue is a three-story, six-unit New Law tenement building located in Flushing and owned by John Triolo. Built in 1927, the property has experienced several maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in mid-2020. During this period, multiple non-emergency complaints were filed simultaneously regarding unsanitary conditions (pests), plumbing (basin/sink issues), electrical problems (outlet/switch), and flooring concerns.

All these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), but notably, no violations were issued in any of these cases. Earlier incidents include a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in February 2019, which was reportedly resolved shortly after the complaint was filed, and a mold-related issue in September 2018. The building has had some safety compliance matters requiring attention in 2018, including the need to repair or replace carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 3B, fix defective door knobs at the vestibule door on the first story, and post safety notices regarding gas leak procedures and housing information in common areas.

An environmental control board violation from August 2018 noted improper storage in the boiler room and missing discharge pipe equipment, though this was subsequently resolved. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual reports (2021 through 2025) showing zero infested units, and it passed a rodent inspection in December 2017. While the building has experienced various maintenance issues typical of older tenements, most complaints have been addressed without resulting in formal violations, and there have been no recent reports of pest or bedbug problems.
