83-26 Lefferts Boulevard, Queens, NY 11415
The 42-unit, 6-story building at 83-26 Lefferts Boulevard in Kew Gardens, managed by Walter Selva, has been a New Law Tenement since its construction in 1931. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water system failures, with nine documented complaints between 2022 and 2025, including three separate incidents in January 2025 alone. Most recently, there was a pest-related issue reported and resolved in February 2025.
The building's maintenance history shows several unresolved violations from a October 2020 inspection, including issues with fire retardant plaster, roof leaks, and required maintenance of walls and ceilings in the 6th-floor public areas. The property has active Department of Buildings violations regarding energy efficiency reporting requirements, dating from 2019-2023, and a specific environmental control board violation from January 2023 pertaining to exterior facade maintenance with a $1,250 penalty. Despite these challenges, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past five years of required reporting periods from 2020 through 2024.
The Department of Buildings has conducted several inspections between 2023-2024 for compliance purposes, including a 2024 inspection that found no violations regarding local law compliance, building shaking, and tenant safety. While there are open violations from 2020 related to building maintenance, the property has shown some improvement in responsiveness to complaints, with most recent incidents being addressed within a reasonable timeframe. The consistent pattern of heat and hot water system complaints, now extending into 2025, remains the most significant ongoing issue affecting tenant comfort.
