117-14 Union Turnpike, Queens, NY 11415
The 108-unit residential building at 117-14 Union Turnpike in Kew Gardens, owned by Keith Werny, has a history of concerning maintenance issues dating from 2020 through 2025, with the most pressing current concerns being two active Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaints from 2023-2024 regarding construction lead dust affecting both common areas and apartments. The building has experienced recurring water-related problems, with three separate water leak complaints in 2021 (one heavy flow and two slow leaks) and multiple heating system issues in 2020, including multiple heating complaints from October and December affecting the entire building.
Additional maintenance history includes various violations requiring lead paint hazard control documentation for multiple apartments in 2023, including units in sections B, D, and F, with one unit (BBB1) currently showing an open violation status. The building's infrastructure has faced challenges, including a 2021 violation for an inadequate sprinkler system and exterior maintenance issues noted in 2022 regarding masonry damage at the roof level and chimney.
While the building has maintained a bedbug-free status since 2019-2020 (with only one reported case in 2019 that was addressed), a rodent inspection in 2018 resulted in a failed inspection for unspecified reasons. Recent complaints regarding "Work Without a Permit" were filed in 2024, though inspections either showed no violation warranted or resulted in inspector access issues. Despite these ongoing concerns, the building has seen some improvements through permitted work, with several exterior work permits issued between 2020 and 2022.
