162-21 Powells Cove Blvd, Queens, NY 11357

The 162-21 Powells Cove Blvd building in Whitestone, owned by Stacey Pankavich, is a 6-story, 108-unit residential building constructed in 1956. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety incidents in recent years. Most notably, in October 2024, there was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though service was reportedly restored shortly after HPD's response.

The building has undergone multiple safety inspections, including two Tenant Safety Inspections in June 2023 where one resulted in an Oath Violation being served. Previous concerns included illegal plumbing work (March 2023) that the inspector could not access, gas hook-up issues (October 2021) that resulted in a Stop Work Order being rescinded (November 2022), and an illegal conversion complaint (July 2020) that could not be substantiated. The building has faced several Environmental Control Board violations, including an active violation from June 2023 relating to an inadequate tenant protection plan (with a penalty of $1,250).

There are also multiple Department of Buildings violations on record, including a 2021 violation for failure to display energy efficiency scores, though several have been resolved or dismissed. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all recent annual filings (2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, and 2019) showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The building's management has shown responsiveness to some violation penalties, as evidenced by the resolution of various infractions, though there are instances of violations remaining active as of the latest available data.
