83-10 118th Street, Queens, NY 11415

The 79-unit, 6-story residential building at 83-10 118th Street in Kew Gardens, owned by Herbert Donner, has experienced recurring issues with heating systems over the past five years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water complaint for an individual apartment that resulted in violations being issued. This followed a pest-related unsanitary condition complaint in April 2024.

The building has a documented history of heating problems, with similar emergency complaints in December 2020 and January 2019, though in those instances, heat and hot water were reportedly restored promptly. The property has also faced pest-related challenges, with three documented pest complaints between 2019-2024, including one in September 2021 where inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. The building's infrastructure has been subject to regular scrutiny, with several Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints filed between 2019-2022.

Notable issues included complaints about building shaking and illegal conversions in mid-2022, though no violations were found in the shaking complaint. An illegal curb cut violation was documented and resolved in May 2019. While there were some DOB violations issued between 2019-2022, records indicate these were subsequently dismissed or resolved, including corrections to elevator inspection filings from 2017. The building has maintained relatively good pest control over the last few years, with the most recent bedbug reports (2022-2024) showing minimal infestation issues, though there was one eradication case reported in 2024.
