85-15 139th Street, Queens, NY 11435
The 106-unit, 6-story residential building at 85-15 139th Street in Briarwood, owned by Alex Kalajian, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there are currently several open violations from a November 2024 inspection related to apartment 4F, including problems with mold, pest infestations (roaches), and issues with the carbon monoxide detector. The building has also faced recurring appliance problems, particularly with refrigerators, as evidenced by multiple recent complaints and Housing Maintenance Code violations.
An alarming pattern emerged in early 2025 with multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, though these were reportedly resolved upon inspection. The building's infrastructure requires attention, with open violations from late 2024 regarding a defective compactor closet door latch in the cellar. While the building has passed recent rodent inspections in 2021 and 2022, there were previous rat activity reports in 2015.
The elevator system has been a source of concern, with active violations as of March 2021 regarding safety equipment and maintenance, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. The property has primarily shown compliance with bedbug reporting requirements in recent years, with no reported infestations since 2021. The building has undergone some permitted work, with permits issued in 2019 and 2021, though the specific nature of these repairs is not detailed in the records. Recent tenant safety inspections in 2025 found no violations, though previous inspections in 2021 had similarly favorable outcomes.
