Questions about this building

Does 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens have open violations?

Yes. 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens had 168 open violations on September 27, 2026: 165 from HPD and 3 from OATH/ECB. 65 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 14 years, since October 19, 2011.

Is 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens getting better or worse?

Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 65 open Class C, with 0 certifications filed and 6 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 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens?

Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 7 Class C violations, all 7 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 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens have an OATH hearing coming up?

Yes. A hearing on a DOB summons is set for October 13, 2026. DOB summonses are heard at OATH, the city's hearings office, and OATH can move a hearing to a later date. When nobody shows up, the summons is decided by default, the costliest way one ends.

Does 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens have active DOB violations?

Yes. 8 active DOB violations, most of them for elevators. The newest was issued April 3, 2024. 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 DOB received complaints about 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens?

Yes. 3 DOB complaints in the 12 months to September 25, 2026. The newest was filed June 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 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens marked completed?

Yes. 8 completed HPD emergency repair orders since September 29, 2023, awarded for $7,802 in total. The most recent of the 8, a general construction order, was opened June 17, 2026. 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 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens?

No Report Filed for 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.

What is the ENERGY STAR score for 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens?

ENERGY STAR score 72 for 2024, against a median of 67 for Multifamily Housing that year. Buildings over 25,000 square feet report their energy use to the city every year under Local Law 84. The ENERGY STAR score runs from 1 to 100 and compares a building with similar ones nationwide; 50 is the national median. The score is the one the city publishes, and this page never estimates a Local Law 97 emissions penalty. A lot that reported several properties in one year is not scored here.

When was the boiler at 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens last inspected?

On April 6, 2026. 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 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens last file its bedbug report?

On August 11, 2026, 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 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens covered by Local Law 97?

Yes. It is on DOB's Local Law 97 covered buildings list. Covered since 2024 (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.

When was 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens built?

The city's record gives 1932 as the year 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens was built, in the Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file. The same file classes it as an elevator apartment building with 6 floors.

How many apartments does 140-70 Ash Avenue, Queens have?

The Department of City Planning's PLUTO tax-lot file lists 47 residential units at 140-70 Ash 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 hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, 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 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.

Sources. HPD housing violations and OATH/ECB hearing results, plus OATH hearing dates, DOB violations, DOB complaints, DOB facade filings, HPD emergency repair orders, Local Law 84 energy reports, 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.
