141-04 77th Avenue, Queens, NY 11367

The 56-unit residential building at 141-04 77th Avenue in Kew Gardens Hills, built in 1937 and owned by Gregory Cohen, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water issues, with three separate incidents in early 2025 alone (February 12-14) and one in November 2023, along with a recent heavy water leak complaint in February 2025 that HPD was unable to inspect.

The building has also faced electrical problems, including a power outage in February 2025, and various plumbing issues, with complaints regarding sinks, doors, and the intercom system in 2022. Recent inspections have resulted in open violations as of November 2023, including one related to access to the building's heating system and another concerning defective self-closing doors in Apartment F.

While the property has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports showing no infestations (with the most recent filing in February 2024 covering the period from November 2022 to October 2023), the building's maintenance history suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges, particularly related to heating systems and water-related issues. Prior to 2023, there were also violations and complaints regarding general sanitation, including a mold incident in September 2021, though the most recent records show no such recurring problems.
