45-19 43rd Avenue, Queens

Winter heating calls and recent plumbing complaints mark this Sunnyside 16-unit building, alongside surrounding air-quality reports.

This 16-unit Sunnyside pre-war carries no open housing-code violations, but winter heating calls and recent plumbing complaints point to maintenance friction inside units. Beyond the front door, air quality reports and curb congestion mark the surrounding streets. Three things to know:

Heat complaints recur during winter months. Seven heat and hot water complaints were logged across recent winter months, including multiple building-wide calls between December 2024 and February 2026. While the heating cases are marked closed, the winter cluster points to a recurring boiler issue.

Plumbing calls show active interior issues. Three plumbing complaints were filed in May 2026 covering kitchen sinks and toilets, with open cases on file. While no code violations resulted, the calls show unresolved plumbing friction inside specific units.

Air quality calls reflect potential riser or vent bleed. Within three blocks, 25 indoor air quality calls were logged over the last year, most recently in August 2026. Fumes, odors, and exhaust bleed across risers or ground-floor commercial space are unknowable until move-in, making unit placement critical.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 158 illegal parking calls within three blocks over the last year, mostly blocked hydrants and posted sign violations
• 125 residential noise calls within three blocks over the last year, dominated by banging and loud music
• 106 blocked driveway calls within three blocks over the last year, with 91 citing complete access loss
