77-33 164th Street, Queens, NY 11366

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 77-33 164th Street in Flushing, owned by John Tagios and constructed in 1941, has experienced recurring heat and hot water system issues over the past several years. The most recent incident occurred in April 2024, when HPD responded to a building-wide heat and hot water complaint, though no violations were issued as heat was not required during the inspection.

This followed a pattern of similar complaints, particularly between 2020 and 2022, where inspections were often hindered by inability to access units, though there were instances in 2020 and 2021 where tenants reported that heat and hot water had been restored prior to inspection. The building also faced a pest control issue in May 2020, categorized as an unsanitary condition, which was considered a non-emergency.

A bedbug reporting violation from April 2021 was noted, though subsequent bedbug reports from 2021 through 2024 have consistently shown zero infested units, suggesting successful remediation efforts. The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance, with all reports between 2020 and 2024 showing no infestation cases. While the heat/hot water system has been a recurring concern, it is worth noting that no violations were issued in relation to any of these complaints, and recent bedbug reports indicate effective pest management.
