137-02 Jewel Avenue, Queens, NY 11367

The 24-unit, 2-story residential building at 137-02 Jewel Avenue in Kew Gardens Hills, owned by Luis Delacruz, has experienced two notable service interruption incidents in recent years, both occurring in February of their respective years. In 2022, there was an emergency heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, which was resolved within two days according to HPD records.

Similarly, in 2021, there was an immediate emergency plumbing issue related to water supply, which was also investigated by HPD with no violations found. These two incidents represent the most significant resident impact events on record, though they were both addressed relatively promptly.

On a more positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding pest control, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the annual filings from 2019 through 2024. The most recent bedbug report for the period of November 2023 to October 2024, as well as all previous reports dating back to 2019, show zero affected units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. This consistent record of pest control success, coupled with the relatively infrequent nature of the heating/plumbing issues, suggests that while there have been some service interruption concerns, these appear to be isolated incidents rather than ongoing problems.
