83-61 116th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The 32-unit, 8-story building at 83-61 116th Street in Kew Gardens, owned by Vp Real Estate Development LLC, was constructed in 2022 and has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues that warrant attention. In early 2025, there were several concerning water-related problems reported, including two instances of water leaks (one with heavy flow and another with a damp spot), as well as a paint/plaster issue affecting the ceiling.

Notably, HPD was unable to complete inspections for the water leak and ceiling complaints, indicating potential ongoing problems, though one window frame issue from March 2025 was reportedly resolved. The building's construction period between 2022-2023 saw several construction-related complaints, including two Construction Safety Compliance (CSC) Action complaints in August 2023, one resulting in a Stop Work Order that was later rescinded. Additional complaints during this period ranged from after-hours work to concerns about adherence to approved plans, though most were either closed without violations or had enforcement actions that were subsequently rescinded.

Importantly, during the 2023-2024 bedbug reporting period (November 2023 to October 2024), the building recorded zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation, suggesting effective pest management practices. While the building has faced several maintenance challenges since its construction, particularly regarding water-related issues in 2025, the absence of bedbug problems and the resolution of many previous construction-related complaints indicate some level of responsiveness to building maintenance needs. The most pressing current issue appears to be the unresolved water-related complaints from early 2025, given the inability of HPD to complete inspections in response to these reports.
