Is 140-16 45 Avenue, Queens in housing court?
Yes. 1 open housing court case, opened February 25, 2026. HPD takes buildings to housing court to get violations fixed and heat and hot water restored, and it joins tenants' own repair cases, called tenant actions. A case stays open until the court closes it.
Has DOB received complaints about 140-16 45 Avenue, Queens?
Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the last 12 months, 1 of them conversion complaint. The newest was filed January 31, 2026. Anyone can complain to DOB about a building or the work going on in it, and DOB then inspects and decides whether there is a violation. A conversion complaint says an apartment may have been added or changed without approval. It is a complaint, not a finding.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 140-16 45 Avenue, Queens marked completed?
Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 28, 2023: a general construction order, opened October 21, 2025, awarded for $1,489. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.
What did the latest facade report find at 140-16 45 Avenue, Queens?
Rated Safe in the latest facade report, filed January 30, 2023 (inspection cycle 9). Buildings taller than six stories must have their exterior walls inspected once in every inspection cycle under the city's Facade Inspection Safety Program (every five years under DOB's current rule), and each inspection report is filed with DOB as Safe, SWARMP (safe with a repair and maintenance program) or Unsafe. No Report Filed means DOB has no report for that cycle. The rating is from the latest filing and does not describe the facade today; DOB's page for the building shows anything filed since.
Are any DOB work permits in effect at 140-16 45 Avenue, Queens?
Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for General Construction work, issued June 30, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.
