143-50 Hoover Avenue, Queens, NY 11435
The six-story, 110-unit building at 143-50 Hoover Avenue in Briarwood, owned by Sandra Newsome and constructed in 1948, has recently experienced significant recurring issues with its heating and hot water systems. From February to April 2025, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with inspections confirming either restoration of services or no violations found. More recently, in June 2025, the building faced several urgent maintenance issues including concerns about fire escapes, electrical wiring, and plumbing problems, along with reports of unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas.
The building has active violations related to facade maintenance under Local Law 11 (2013) with an "Unsafe" designation from November 2023, and has failed to submit required FISP Cycle 9B reports. Historical records show previous serious incidents, including a 2018 case of a partially collapsed ceiling in apartment 315 that resulted in tenant injury and hospital transport. The building has a documented history of elevator issues, gas utility concerns, and facade maintenance violations, though these have generally been resolved upon re-inspection.
While there were instances of bedbug infestations recorded between 2018 and 2020, recent filings from 2021-2024 show zero infested units. The property has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2014-2019, with varying results including some failures during initial inspections but more recent compliance passes. The building's management has occasionally struggled to gain access for inspections or corrections, as noted in several HPD and DOB inspections.
