Questions about this building

Does 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens have open violations?

Yes. 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens had 5 open violations on October 10, 2026: 5 from HPD. 1 is Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 39 years, since April 15, 1987.

Is 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 1 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. That window ends October 10, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.

When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens?

Since October 12, 2023, certifications were filed on 3 Class C violations, all 3 by the original certify-by date. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.

Does 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens have active DOB violations?

Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued April 17, 2003. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.

Has 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens been in housing court?

Yes. 3 housing court cases here since 2005, most of them tenant actions. 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 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens?

Yes. 5 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed September 24, 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 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens marked completed?

Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since October 12, 2023: a general construction order, opened October 18, 2024, awarded for $1,285. 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 reports find at 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens?

10 buildings on this lot are rated Safe in their latest facade reports, the newest filed July 12, 2024 (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.

When was the boiler at 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens last inspected?

It has 10 boilers, all inspected in 2026, the latest on June 11. DOB requires a boiler in a building with 6 or more apartments to be inspected once every calendar year, with the report filed within 14 days of the inspection. Low-pressure boilers in residential buildings with 5 or fewer apartments are exempt.

When did 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens last file its bedbug report?

Its 10 buildings had all filed by December 1, 2025, for the year to October 31, 2025. HPD asks the owner of every building with 3 or more apartments for this report once a year, covering November 1 to October 31, including buildings that had no bedbugs.

Is 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2026 as a rent-regulated building (DOB's list, March 1, 2026). Local Law 97 sets greenhouse gas limits for most New York City buildings over 25,000 square feet, and DOB's covered buildings list says which path each building is on. The list reflects DOB's records, which owners can ask DOB to correct. This page never estimates a penalty or says whether a building complies.

Is 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens rent stabilized?

The building has rent-stabilized apartments on its 2024 registration. That comes from the Rent Guidelines Board's list of buildings with at least one stabilized apartment registered that year. Buildings that registered late are left off, and a 421-a or J-51 building can leave stabilization when its tax benefit ends. A particular apartment's status is for NYS HCR to say.

When was 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens built?

The city's record gives 1935 as the year 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 966 residential units at 55-01 31 Avenue, Queens. The count is for the whole tax lot.

Where do these numbers come from?

From New York City's own data: HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, read whole rather than sampled. It also draws on OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. This page is current through October 10, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH/ECB summonses from DOB and FDNY, DOB violations, HPD's housing court cases, DOB complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB facade filings, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, DOB boiler inspection reports, HPD's annual bedbug reports, DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list and the city's PLUTO tax-lot file. Counts cover HPD Class B and C violations from the last 3 years that HPD still shows open, and OATH/ECB summonses from the same 3 years that the city still shows active. The city's own pages can show more, never fewer.
