144-04 77th Road, Queens, NY 11367

The 36-unit, 3-story building at 144-04 77th Road in Kew Gardens Hills, owned by Aleke Radoncic and constructed in 1948, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most importantly, as of December 2024, there are multiple open violations in Apartment 1C, including problems with water leaks, pest infestations (bedbugs and roaches), defective plumbing fixtures, and safety concerns such as missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water system failures, with complaints in 2019 and 2021, though these issues were reportedly resolved.

Between 2018 and 2019, there were multiple complaints and violations related to cooking gas systems, and more recently in 2022, there was a plumbing issue involving the bathtub/shower facilities. The property underwent inspections and faced various regulatory actions between 2021 and 2024, including emergency and non-emergency complaints about plumbing, heating, and pest issues. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, consistently reporting zero infested units.

Recent housing maintenance code violations identified in December 2024 suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in terms of plumbing and bathroom facilities. While there were also some rodent inspection issues noted in 2019, these appear to have been resolved with a passing inspection. The building's permit history from late 2018 shows multiple permits being issued, though the specific nature of the permitted work is not detailed in the available data.
