Augrented Insights Report for 43-11 159th Street

The 16-unit, 4-story tenement building at 43-11 159th Street in Flushing, owned by Vasilios Kontorouhas, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over recent years, with several documented complaints between 2019 and 2022. The most recent cluster of complaints occurred in November 2022, involving heat/hot water problems, mold issues, and bathtub/shower plumbing concerns in individual apartments, though HPD inspections did not result in any violations.

Earlier heat system problems affected the entire building in October 2020, and similar issues had been reported in October 2019, with temporary resolution confirmed by tenants in both instances. In late 2022, there was a complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempted investigation.

The building's maintenance record from 2019 to 2025 shows no reported infestations of bedbugs, with all annual filings confirming zero infested units, including the most recent filing from December 2024. The building appears to have a history of heat system reliability challenges, particularly during the transition seasons, with multiple tenants needing to file complaints over the years. While the recent complaints have been addressed and closed, with no violations documented, the pattern of heat-related issues suggests this remains a recurring concern for residents.
