43-12 159th Street, Queens, NY 11358
43-12 159th Street is a 4-story, 16-unit residential building in Flushing, built in 1928 and currently owned by Nancy Raguzin. The building has experienced persistent maintenance issues over recent years, with significant concerns regarding mold and safety systems. From 2018 to 2020, multiple complaints were filed regarding mold issues, with at least three incidents resulting in HPD violations in 2019.
Between June and July 2020, emergency complaints were made about missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. The building has open violations from 2023 and 2024 related to failure to file external low-pressure inspection and bedbug reports, respectively. Of particular note is the building's infrastructure and safety systems; inspection records from September 2019 revealed multiple violations in apartment 1A, including issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plaster surfaces, water leaks, and mold conditions.
The building's maintenance history shows a recurring pattern of unresolved access issues, where inspectors were unable to enter the reported areas for verification. While the building underwent various inspections and repair requests, many issues appear to remain outstanding, particularly the active violations regarding inspections and reporting requirements. The most recent bedbug report (2022) indicated no infestation during the reporting period, covering November 2020 to October 2021, with zero units affected or re-infested.
