83-60 118th Street, Queens, NY 11415

At 83-60 118th Street in Kew Gardens, this 11-story, 123-unit building constructed in 1960 has been experiencing ongoing maintenance issues, particularly in recent months. Most notably, four simultaneous complaints in May 2025 resulted in violations related to mold, ceiling damage, window frame problems, and floor issues.

There is also an active safety concern regarding the building's façade, as noted in an active complaint from May 2024, and a recently issued Environmental Control Board violation related to an unauthorized laundry room installation with gas dryers and a sprinkler system deficiency from July 2024, along with multiple open violations from 2024 regarding unsatisfactory conditions in apartment 7F. The building has a history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints about leaks and ceiling damage reported throughout 2023-2025, including both heavy flow and slow leaks. The property has faced various infrastructure challenges over the years, including two elevator-related violations in 2019, concerns about building shaking in 2020, and issues with pest infestations and unsanitary conditions.

There is currently an active violation regarding unsatisfactory swarm conditions, and the building has failed to properly address several safety concerns, including not filing acceptable reports for unsafe conditions required by the Facade Inspection and Safety Program (FISP). While the building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations since 2020, rodent activity was noted during inspections in 2010, though subsequent inspections passed. The property management under Jeff Herskovitz has multiple open violations as of 2025, affecting various systems and maintenance standards within the building, indicating ongoing regulatory compliance challenges.
