Is 138-25 Barclay Avenue, Queens getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 1 open Class C, with 2 certifications filed and 1 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 27, 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 138-25 Barclay Avenue, Queens?
Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 13 Class C violations, all 13 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 138-25 Barclay Avenue, Queens?
Yes. 2 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed December 3, 2025. 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.
Does 138-25 Barclay Avenue, Queens have a certificate of occupancy?
Its latest certificate of occupancy is a final one, issued July 9, 2024. A certificate of occupancy says how a building may be used and occupied. A temporary one lets people move in while work finishes and has to be renewed until DOB issues the final one. DOB's records here start in July 2012, so an older certificate may not show.
When did 138-25 Barclay Avenue, Queens last file its bedbug report?
On December 2, 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 138-25 Barclay Avenue, Queens covered by Local Law 97?
Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered from 2035 as an income-restricted 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 138-25 Barclay 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 138-25 Barclay Avenue, Queens built?

This page is current through September 27, 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.
