77-39 164th Street, Queens, NY 11366

The three-story, five-unit building at 77-39 164th Street in Flushing, owned by John Tagios, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past few years, with the most recent complaints in December 2023 and March 2025 indicating building-wide system failures. While these complaints were ultimately resolved with system restoration according to tenant confirmations, the frequency of these incidents – with multiple complaints in both April and December 2023, and another set of complaints in March 2025 – suggests an ongoing pattern of heating system reliability problems.

The building has also faced several safety and maintenance concerns, as documented in housing violation records. In late 2022, violations were recorded for specific issues in Apartment 1A, including a defective kitchen floor, and problems with self-closing doors at both the building entrance and apartment levels.

A critical safety violation was issued in October 2022 regarding air conditioning units obstructing fire escape egress, though this was certified as corrected shortly thereafter. The building's management has maintained proper bedbug reporting compliance from 2021 through 2024, with no reported infestations in any of the six filing periods, demonstrating good pest control practices. Additionally, several administrative violations from 2018 related to building safety signage and bedbug information posting have been properly addressed, as indicated by their certification dates.
