45-35 Parsons Boulevard, Queens, NY 11355

The 20-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 45-35 Parsons Boulevard in Flushing, built in 1927 and currently owned by Jack Soleimani, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in 2025. Between March and April 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though inspections confirmed restoration of services during or shortly after the complaints.

More recently, as of May 2025, there was a fire escape safety complaint that was investigated but found not to violate housing laws. A notable series of electrical issues emerged in June 2025, with multiple emergency complaints about power outages and lighting problems, suggesting potential infrastructure concerns. The building has several open housing maintenance code violations as of October 2024, primarily affecting apartment 2E, including issues with electrical outlets, door mechanisms, window operations, and refrigerator components.

Historical records show recurring complaints between 2022-2024 regarding boiler problems, illegal conversions, and egress issues, though inspections often revealed no violations at the time. The building's management has generally responded to 311 complaints, with most being resolved through repairs or inspections, though some access issues have been noted. On a positive note, the building has maintained a pest-free status regarding bedbugs since 2019, and while there were instances of rat activity recorded between 2022-2023, recent inspections (as of 2024) have generally resulted in passing grades for rodent control, suggesting improved maintenance in this regard.
