146-23 Hillside Avenue, Queens, NY 11435
146-23 Hillside Avenue in Briarwood is a 24-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Grace Palazzolo. The property has experienced persistent heating system issues throughout 2025, with multiple emergency complaints (January-April 2025) regarding lack of heat and hot water affecting the entire building, though most issues appeared resolved shortly after inspections. The building has a documented history of boiler-related problems, with violations issued in 2023 and 2025, though inspectors often faced access restrictions during emergency inspections.
A comprehensive inspection in May 2024 revealed several maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 12, including electrical wiring concerns, mold, plumbing issues, and various structural defects, though most of these violations have since been marked as closed. Additional historical issues include water leak concerns (May 2024), plumbing problems (May 2024), and flooring concerns (May 2024). The building's safety systems have been scrutinized due to violations related to egress obstruction and illegal fire escape usage.
While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2022-2025), rodent inspections show a mixed history, with failures recorded in 2010 and 2014, though a compliance inspection passed in 2024 is an encouraging sign. The building currently has an active violation related to failure to file the 2023 External Low Pressure Inspection report as of September 2024. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure, particularly regarding heating, plumbing, and general maintenance, with recent years showing both recurring system failures and periodic inspections revealing various code violations. The building has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations, with many being certified as corrected, though the pattern of recurring heating system failures and access issues during inspections raises concerns about system reliability and maintenance access.
