157-07 72nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11365

157-07 72nd Avenue is a newly constructed 8-story, 94-unit residential building in Flushing, completed in 2022 and owned by 157-01 72nd Ave, LLC. The building has experienced several significant events, particularly during its construction phase in 2022, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and four stop work orders related to construction safety compliance, though all were subsequently rescinded. There were also legitimate concerns about construction lead dust in common areas and apartments.

A notable violation was issued in March 2020 regarding failure to file the 2017 external high-pressure boiler inspection, though this was dismissed in July 2023. The building's Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) records show a rat sighting in September 2022, though this was investigated and did not result in any violations. Prior to the building's completion, there were multiple food establishment-related complaints from 2018-2019, including issues with rodents/insects/garbage and food spoilage, all of which were addressed and closed.

Recent inspections from 2023 (as of April 2023) have shown no violations for various complaints including sustainability enforcement, site conditions endangering workers, and adjacent building protection concerns. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases or eradications in the most recent two reporting periods (2022-2023 and 2023-2024). The property appears to have stabilized since construction completion, with no recent health or safety violations on record and routine annual inspections showing compliance with current regulations.
