90-32 53rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11373
The three-story, 30-unit residential building at 90-32 53rd Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by John Varela and constructed in 1975, has experienced significant issues with heating and hot water systems in early 2025, with ten emergency complaints filed between January 25 and February 21. Half of these complaints resulted in inspection attempts where access could not be gained, though one complaint on February 6 was investigated and found to be non-violative, while another on February 2 confirmed that heat and hot water had been restored.
In addition to the heating issues, there were three other complaints filed on January 15 regarding flooring, window, and plumbing (radiator) concerns, though inspectors could not gain access to investigate these matters. The building's history reveals a pattern of maintenance challenges, including a concerning incident in mid-2019 when three apartments (1C, 1D, and 2D) experienced fire damage, resulting in Class C violations requiring the abatement of fire-related nuisances.
Other historical violations include a 2013 Class A violation in apartment 2A regarding peeling paint surfaces, a 2016 Class B violation in apartment 3B concerning inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures, and ongoing concerns about rodent activity in 2019-2020, with multiple bait applications recorded during that period. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years, with zero reported cases between 2019 and 2024, and no violations related to this issue.
