41 Kew Gardens Road, Queens, NY 11415

The 6-story, 48-unit apartment building at 41 Kew Gardens Road, owned by Michael Goldstein, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent months, with multiple emergency complaints filed in May 2025 alone, including one that remains open as of now. The building, constructed in 1936, has faced several maintenance challenges since 2023.

Notable incidents include a pest infestation in apartment 1F (including mice and roaches) documented in 2023, multiple unsuccessful inspection attempts for various maintenance issues due to lack of tenant access, and several heating system failures affecting the entire building. The elevator system has also been problematic, with multiple inspections and violations between 2020-2024, including instances of being stuck and safety concerns that led to cease-use orders. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements over the past several years, showing zero reported cases from 2021 through 2024, with the last recorded instances being 2 units in 2019 and 3 units in 2018.

Structural and safety issues have been documented, including an April 2024 violation for failure to maintain building walls and appurtenances, showing spalled bricks and defective mortar joints on the west and north elevations. There were several Housing Maintenance Code violations in 2023 related to self-closing doors in the compactor closet and other building systems, though many have been resolved. The property has faced administrative challenges as well, with violations for late filing of required inspections and reports being dismissed in recent years, suggesting improved compliance with building maintenance requirements.
