144-34 77th Road, Queens, NY 11367

The 27-unit, 3-story residential building at 144-34 77th Road in Kew Gardens Hills, owned by Aleke Radoncic, was constructed in 1948 and has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past four years. Most notably, between late 2022 and early 2023, there were multiple complaints about lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, with HPD responding to several emergencies in November-December 2022 and January 2023, though tenants reported restoration of services.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges, with four complaints filed in late 2024 regarding various issues including door problems, ventilation system concerns, appliance maintenance, and pest control, all of which were closed after verification of corrections. The property has a history of safety compliance violations that were addressed in 2021, including requirements to post emergency notices regarding gas leaks, smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and housing information guides in common areas, particularly near mailboxes.

These violations were certified as corrected by April 2021. Despite these issues, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a history of zero reported bedbug infestations over the past eight years, with official records from 2019 through 2024 showing no affected units. The most recent service requests were all filed in November 2024, with the last one being closed in April 2025, indicating ongoing communication with housing authorities about building maintenance.
