83-15 116th Street, Queens, NY 11418
The 6-story, 59-unit building at 83-15 116th Street in Kew Gardens, owned by Robert Ast, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant concerns emerging in 2024. Multiple violations were documented in mid-2024 regarding defective self-closing doors throughout the building, including at least four open violations related to fire doors on various floors (notably the 3rd and 4th stories), though some related violations from earlier inspections were subsequently closed.
These door-related issues, classified as Class C violations, suggest potential fire safety concerns. Additionally, there was an indoor air quality complaint in December 2023 and a rodent sighting in October 2021, though the building passed a rodent compliance inspection in January 2022. The building has maintained a relatively clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the annual filings since 2019, except for a single incident in 2018 involving one unit that was resolved.
There have been three complaints about illegal after-hours work between 2023-2024, though inspections did not find violations warranting penalties. The property has also faced some administrative issues, including a missed Local Law 188/17 compliance inspection in December 2024, though the inspection had not yet been completed as of that date. While the building's age (constructed in 1931) presents inherent maintenance challenges, the recurring door violations and recent air quality complaint warrant attention to the building's ongoing maintenance practices and safety compliance.
