The 76-unit, 6-story building at 2112 Starling Avenue in Parkchester, owned by Daniel Schwartz, has experienced significant and ongoing maintenance issues throughout 2025. The building has faced multiple heating and hot water problems, with at least eight complaints registered between January and February 2025, ranging from individual apartments to entire building outages. The property has also been grappling with various maintenance challenges, including mold (January 2025), electrical issues (lighting and outlet problems), water leaks, and unsanitary conditions.

Notably, there are currently two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from December 2024 related to water leaks and roof issues in Apartment 6C, along with an open emergency door/window complaint from June 2025. The building has a documented history of infrastructure and safety concerns, including active Environmental Control Board violations regarding improperly installed gas dryers (issued May 2022) with penalties totaling $7,500, though one violation was resolved. Previous complaints about the elevator system, building debris, and multiple heat-related issues indicate recurring maintenance challenges. While the bedbug reports for the past three years (2022-2024) show no current infestations, there were two cases in 2021-2022.

The building has passed recent rodent inspections (2021, 2023), though there were multiple failures recorded in 2016. The property's history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, with particular attention needed on the recurring heating system failures and water-related maintenance problems. The building has received various technical permits, including plumbing permits issued in November 2021, suggesting ongoing infrastructure work. The Department of Buildings has documented multiple violations requiring attention, with some remaining open as of the latest inspection dates.
