Active vacate orders and fire damage violations mark a building with heavy open issues.
This 40-unit Jackson Heights building carries 10 open housing-code violations, including 6 immediately hazardous Class C orders. Fire damage and vacate orders affect multiple stacked apartments along the western side, alongside recent reports of plaster defects and mold. Three things to know:
Fire damage triggered vacate orders across three stacked apartments in March 2026. In late March 2026, inspectors issued vacate orders for apartments 1A, 2A, and 3A along the western tier. That same week, housing inspectors logged six Class C violations for fire damage spreading through the entire layout of those same three units, alongside severe plaster and mold issues on higher floors.
Repeated building-wide heat outages documented over recent winters. The building logged 14 heat and hot water complaints, including multiple building-wide outages reported during the 2024 and 2025 heating seasons. While those specific calls were closed, plaster and leak complaints continued to roll in through spring 2026.
Heavy residential noise and parking blockages on surrounding streets. Within three blocks of the building, neighbors logged 122 residential noise calls over the past year—mostly loud music and party pounding—alongside 91 illegal parking reports dominated by blocked hydrants. Street space around the block stays busy.
