89-45 237th Street, Queens, NY 11426

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 89-45 237th Street in Bellerose, owned by Leela George and built in 1965, has experienced significant ongoing heating and water supply issues over the past two years. Most notably, between November 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water problems, with inspections confirming these were building-wide issues during this period.

While some complaints were resolved through phone confirmation of repairs, others required inspections, particularly in December 2024, when violations were documented regarding inadequate heating and hot water supply. The building is currently experiencing a set of open violations as of December 2024, including issues with self-closing doors, heating systems, hot water supply, and a cockroach infestation in the third-floor apartment. Additional open violations relate to building safety requirements, including the need to post proper gas leak procedures and carbon monoxide detector requirements.

The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2022 and 2023 showing no infested units or eradication issues. However, the current maintenance violation status, coupled with the recent history of heating and water supply problems, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance compliance. The most recent service request in January 2025 indicates that while there was a prompt response to a heat/hot water issue, the resolution process continues to require tenant follow-up through 311 services.
