77-35 164th Street, Queens, NY 11366

The 3-story, 4-unit building located at 77-35 164th Street in Flushing, owned by John Tagios, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with safety systems and basic utilities being particular areas of concern. Recent incidents in 2025 include multiple heat/hot water complaints, plumbing issues, and door/window-related problems, with several HPD inspections failing due to lack of access to units.

Notably, there were emergency violations regarding safety systems, including smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, during the first quarter of 2025. The building has a documented history of pest control issues, particularly with roaches, affecting multiple units and common areas between 2020-2023, though recent bedbug filings indicate no infestations from 2022-2025. The property has faced systemic heating problems, as evidenced by multiple violations and complaints regarding inadequate heat supply, particularly affecting Unit 2C.

Additionally, the building's 2020-2021 violations highlight concerns with fire escape egress obstructed by an air conditioner, and various maintenance issues in Unit 2A, including broken plaster surfaces and door function problems. While some violations from 2020-2023 indicate they were eventually closed or certified, as of now, there are still open violations regarding carbon monoxide detection in Unit 2A from 2020 that remain unresolved. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with both basic infrastructure and safety systems, requiring consistent attention from management to maintain compliance with housing codes and ensure tenant safety.
