80-97 Cypress Avenue, Queens, NY 11385

Cypress Avenue Apartments, a 66-unit, 5-story residential building constructed in 2022, has experienced several maintenance issues in its relatively short history. Most recently, there has been a concerning pattern of plumbing-related problems, with multiple emergency water supply complaints in June 2025, and earlier incidents in January 2025 and September 2023.

The building has also faced recurring heating and hot water system challenges, with emergency complaints filed in January 2025, September 2023, and more recently in June 2025. Other notable issues include pest control concerns (January 2025), garbage/recycling storage problems (July 2024), and several smoking-related violations throughout 2023-2024. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and Department of Health (DOHMH) have investigated many of these complaints, typically no violations were issued or the problems were reported as resolved.

Looking back at the building's construction period, several complaints were filed between 2020-2021, including issues related to construction safety compliance, site conditions, and sustainability enforcement, though most were quickly addressed and closed. Most notably, there are currently two active complaints regarding elevator service from June 2025, indicating a potential accessibility concern. On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with official reports from 2024-2025 showing no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units in any reporting period.
