116-40 Park Lane South, Queens, NY 11418

116-40 Park Lane South is a 4-story, 35-unit residential building located in Kew Gardens, built in 1925 and currently owned by Majid Kahen. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with three documented complaints in 2025 and several in 2023, though inspections typically found the problems had resolved by the time of visit.

Additional maintenance concerns have included electrical problems (no lighting reported in July 2023), plumbing issues (sink and bathtub problems reported in 2023), and various infrastructure matters such as flooring and door-related complaints. The building underwent a comprehensive inspection in January 2024, revealing multiple violations in apartment C3, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and a roach infestation, along with several violations concerning building entrance door mechanisms and storage issues in public areas. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since 2019, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past five filing periods.

Rodent inspections show generally positive results, with the most recent inspections in 2023 passing, though there was one failure noted in January 2023 for unspecified reasons. The building has an active Department of Buildings violation from April 2021 regarding the display of energy efficiency information, and there have been two complaints about illegal conversions and illegal curb cuts, though these were closed after inspectors were unable to gain access. While the building's management has generally addressed violations when cited, recent patterns suggest ongoing challenges with maintaining consistent heating and hot water systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency service requests in 2025.
