135-23 82nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The 27-unit, 6-story apartment building at 135-23 82nd Avenue in Briarwood, owned by Nick Luka, was constructed in 2009 and currently has several notable open violations that warrant attention. Most concerning are the ongoing housing maintenance code violations from May 2023, which include multiple issues with self-closing doors at fire exits (Class C) and various other safety-related posting requirements that have not been addressed, including gas leak procedures and building registration information (Class A violations).

Additionally, there are two active Department of Buildings violations from 2023 related to failure to file required reports - including the 2021 External Low Pressure Inspection and the Benchmarking Report of Energy Use. The building has experienced some operational issues in recent years, including a plumbing water supply complaint in late 2022 that was resolved by May 2023, and a smoking violation complaint from 2021 that was administratively closed. Elevator service was recently inspected in July 2025 with no violations found, though there had been a complaint about single device service in June 2025.

The most recent bedbug report from July 2023 for the period November 2021 to October 2022 shows no infestations were reported. While the building has had various violations in the past, some from as far back as 2019, many were resolved or dismissed, including issues related to energy efficiency score display and elevator certification matters. The property appears to have a mix of unresolved safety and compliance issues, while also demonstrating some recent improvements in bedbug management and elevator inspection compliance.
