135-42 Coolidge Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The three-story residential building at 135-42 Coolidge Avenue in Briarwood, owned by Alice Lee, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 1998, with particular emphasis on heating and water system problems. Between 2020 and 2022, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water outages, with emergency complaints filed in November and December 2020, February 2021, and March 2022.

While several of these complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), no violations were found in most cases, though two violations were issued in March 2022 specifically regarding inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 1. More recently, in May 2024, there was a complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, which was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued.

Currently, there are multiple open violations that require attention: two from March 2023 and April 2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, and two from March 2022 concerning inadequate hot water supply in Apartment 1. Additionally, there are several outstanding violation notices from December 2020 that require certification, including issues related to carbon monoxide detecting devices, building registration signage, inspection certificate display, and housing information guide availability. While the building has undergone various inspections and investigations over the years, the persistence of certain violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting and hot water supply, suggests ongoing operational challenges.
