147-09 75th Road, Queens, NY 11367

The 116-unit, 2-story residential building at 147-09 75th Road in Kew Gardens Hills, owned by Joshua Lazarus, has experienced a range of maintenance and safety issues since 2018. Most recently, in June 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions related to garbage/recycling storage and safety concerns about fire escapes, though inspections found no violations in these cases. There were also complaints about door issues during this period, resulting in violations requiring correction.

The building has experienced recurring issues with both fire escape safety and garbage management, with multiple complaints and violations between 2024-2025. Prior violations from 2024 indicate problems with entrance door locks and security features, while the Environmental Control Board lists an active violation from October 2024 regarding the failure to submit a required parking structure report, carrying a penalty of $2,530. The building's record also shows past issues with egress obstruction, demonstrated by multiple complaints between 2018-2025, though inspections generally found no violations warranting enforcement action.

The property has maintained a clean bill of health regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases between 2023-2024. Rodent inspections show a mixed record, with the most recent compliance inspection in December 2024 passing, while an August 2024 initial inspection failed for unspecified reasons. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building security and public safety systems, particularly regarding fire escapes and building entrance doors, though many recent complaints have not resulted in violations. The owner has generally addressed most violations within the specified timeframes, as indicated by the "Closed" status on many enforcement actions, though some recurring issues suggest possible patterns of non-compliance.
