93-40 Queens Boulevard, Queens, NY 11374

93-40 Queens Boulevard is a 6-story, 53-unit residential building constructed in 1939, currently owned by Marilyn Wallach. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple emergency service requests in 2023 and 2025 indicating problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. A significant rodent inspection in early 2024 revealed initial rat activity, though a subsequent compliance inspection showed passing results.

The building has documented environmental concerns, particularly in Apartment 4F, including lead-based paint hazards and various maintenance issues identified during a November 2022 inspection, though many of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected. The elevator system has been a point of concern, with multiple complaints in 2020 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, leading to penalties and violations. The property has also faced plumbing issues, notably in September 2022 with multiple complaints about sink problems, and unsanitary conditions including mold in late 2022.

A bedbug infestation was reported affecting two units in late 2024, though this marked the first infestation in recent years, with previous years showing zero infested units. The building's history includes various maintenance challenges, such as plaster and paint issues, with multiple service requests to HPD for inspections and corrections. The property underwent inspections for rodent activity in 2017 and 2018, with mixed results showing both compliance and failure notices. While some historical violations and complaints have been resolved, including various environmental control board violations, the recurring nature of heat/hot water issues and recent pest problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
