77-16 Austin Street, Queens, NY 11375
77-16 Austin Street is a 6-story, 72-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1929, currently owned by 771620 Equities Corp and located in Forest Hills. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and elevator reliability in recent years, with the most recent heat/hot water complaint logged in December 2024.
Multiple elevator-related complaints were filed between 2020-2023, including violations for defective devices, lack of alternate service, and multiple devices on property, with active violations relating to the Door Lock Monitoring (DLM) system and associated penalties totaling $16,250 as of 2024. The building underwent inspections in June 2024 that resulted in several violations requiring repairs, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartments 2B and 3A, and issues with self-closing doors in various locations including the compactor closets on multiple floors. The property has a history of maintenance issues requiring attention to building systems, with significant violations including a 2020 citation for lack of required sprinklers in the laundry room and installation of new gas dryers without proper permits.
The building has maintained a record of pest control compliance, with no reported bedbug infestations in the past five reporting periods from 2020-2025, and only one rodent inspection in 2018 that failed for unknown reasons. While the building has addressed many of its violations over time, several active ECB violations and historical repeat complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding elevator systems and building safety equipment. The most recent inspections and violations show attention to life safety systems, with multiple smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues being addressed through repairs or replacement.
