45-19 39th Place, Queens

The building file carries no open housing violations, but winter heat calls and nearby air quality reports show up in recent history.

This 26-unit Sunnyside pre-war carries no open code violations under W Brothers Management, but tenant calls highlight winter heating stress alongside surrounding street signals. Three things to know:

Cold snaps bring recurring heating complaints. 18 heat and hot water complaints logged over the past two years, with calls concentrated in December and January. Reports cite both individual units and building-wide drops, showing recurring strain during freezing weather.

Commercial exhaust and air quality calls surface nearby. Within three blocks, filings include 8 food establishment reports and 6 indoor air quality calls over the last year. Smell and air-quality signals often stem from commercial venting or shared utility risers drifting into residential space.

Street parking around the block gets tightly contested. 191 illegal parking calls logged within three blocks over the past 12 months, driven by 62 blocked hydrants and 41 blocked crosswalks—short-stop curb violations rather than long-term vehicle storage.

Quieter signals on this building and the blocks around it:

• 4 unsanitary condition calls and 2 paint or plaster complaints logged over the past year
• 1 water system complaint filed in April 2025 regarding dirty water
