139-72 Pershing Crescent, Queens, NY 11435

The 8-unit, 5-story building at 139-72 Pershing Crescent in Briarwood, owned by Conmemoracion Quiambao and constructed in 2006, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its completion. Most significant is a cluster of water leak complaints in late 2018-early 2019, with four separate incidents of "heavy flow" leaks reported through 311 calls and Housing Maintenance Code complaints, leading to issued violations. These water-related issues appear to have primarily affected fourth-floor apartment 4B, where violations remain open regarding multiple maintenance issues, including defective carbon monoxide and smoke detecting devices. More recently, in 2023, the building received two active violations for failure to file 2022 external low-pressure inspection documentation, which remain unresolved.

The building's recent history shows mixed maintenance outcomes. A January 2025 rodent-related complaint was investigated but found no violations, and the property has maintained a consistent record of submitting bedbug reports showing zero infested units from 2021 through 2025. While inspections in 2025 and late 2022 showed passed results for rodent inspections, there have been some concerning findings in the past, including a period of rat activity noted in mid-2022. The building's complaint history indicates regular interaction with city agencies, though many complaints have been closed without violations being found or due to lack of access for inspections.

A Zoning Non-Conforming complaint from 2019, and a Boiler-related complaint from 2024, were also investigated but no violations were warranted at the time of inspection. The property has regularly undergone required inspections and submitted necessary documentation regarding pest control, showing proactive management in some areas. However, the open violations related to water damage and safety systems in 4B, along with the active violations regarding pressure inspection filing, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that have persisted over multiple years. The building's relatively young age (built in 2006) contrasts with the extensive history of plumbing issues, which appears to be one of the most significant and recurring maintenance challenges.
