Questions about this building

Does 144-53 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens have open violations?

Yes. 144-53 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens had 18 open violations on October 10, 2026: 18 from HPD. 8 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 12 months, since September 21, 2025.

Is 144-53 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 8 open Class C, with 1 certification filed and 4 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. 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 144-53 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens?

Since October 12, 2023, a certification was filed on 1 Class C violation, 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.

Has DOB received complaints about 144-53 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens?

Yes. 2 DOB complaints, 1 of them conversion complaint, in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed May 12, 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 144-53 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens marked completed?

Yes. 2 completed HPD emergency repair orders since October 12, 2023, awarded for $6,260 in total. The most recent of the 2, a general construction order, was opened June 10, 2025. 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.

When did 144-53 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens last file its bedbug report?

On December 23, 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 144-53 Roosevelt 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 144-53 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens built?

The city's record gives 1931 as the year 144-53 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as a walk-up building with 4 floors.

How many apartments does 144-53 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 20 residential units at 144-53 Roosevelt 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 complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. 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 complaints, the Rent Guidelines Board's stabilized-building lists, DOB NOW work permits, HPD emergency repair orders, HPD's annual bedbug reports, the city's PLUTO tax-lot file and DOF's property sales records. 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.
