158-06 76th Avenue, Queens, NY 11366

The 20-unit residential building at 158-06 76th Avenue in Flushing, owned by Vasilios Kontorouhas and constructed in 1952, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly relating to heating systems. Most notably, there have been three heat and hot water-related complaints in the past 15 months (November 2023, November 2024), with two categorized as emergencies. The most recent incident in November 2024 occurred shortly before the complaint was investigated and was temporarily remedied when inspectors arrived, though the actual resolution process suggests potential ongoing concerns.

There is also an unresolved ventilation system issue from November 2024 that was not inspectable due to lack of access. A historical pattern of heating system problems is evident, with a similar building-wide heat and hot water complaint in September 2018, though that was also resolved upon inspector follow-up. The building currently has one open violation related to inadequate lighting in the public hall on the first story, dating back to September 2018, which remains unresolved.

A recent investigation in November 2024 regarding illegal commercial use of the property did not result in any violations. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status over multiple reporting periods from 2021 through 2024, with no reported infestations or required eradication efforts. The property has undergone regular inspection and reporting requirements, with the most recent bedbug report from December 2024 confirming no affected units during the previous year.
