136-34 Hook Creek Boulevard, Queens, NY 11422

The two-family house at 136-34 Hook Creek Boulevard in Rosedale, owned by Howard Wieder and constructed in 1930, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in early 2025, there was a heat and hot water emergency in one of the apartments that resulted in HPD violations, following a similar pattern with a power outage in early 2024.

The building has a documented history of pest and sanitation challenges, including multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to cats in 2022, an unsanitary condition involving pests in December 2021 (which resulted in violations), and a bedbug infestation in an apartment that was cited as a current open violation as of late 2021. Earlier rodent-related issues were documented in 2018, with failed inspections noting "Other Reasons" for non-compliance.

Additional recent events include two egress-related complaints in late 2024 that were investigated but did not warrant violations according to the inspection results. The building's documented history shows a pattern of intermittent maintenance issues requiring attention, with violations in need of correction as per HPD's legal requirements. While some complaints have been resolved through inspections, the property has experienced recurring issues with basic services such as heat and water, suggesting ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance responsiveness.
