43-18 Main Street, Queens, NY 11355

The 14-story Garden View Plaza condominium at 43-18 Main Street in Flushing, built in 2001 and managed by Judy Chan, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, between late 2022 and early 2023, there were multiple interconnected problems involving water leaks, heat and hot water systems, and various apartment-specific issues. Affected units included 5D, which had several violations related to window repairs, heat supply, and pest control, and 5G, which had a mold issue in the bathroom.

More recently, from 2025-2023, there have been recurring concerns about elevator systems, with multiple complaints logged about "Multiple Devices on Property," though inspections found no violations. The building has remained free of bedbug infestations according to recent reporting, and rodent inspections in 2022 showed compliance, though there was evidence of rat activity in 2016-2019. The building's maintenance history shows some larger structural concerns, particularly regarding the balconies.

A 2021 partial vacate order required the evacuation of all balcony lines due to observed issues with cracked/spalling balcony slabs, though most balcony-related violations from 2020-2021 have been resolved. The most recent Environment Control Board violation (2022) regarding the failure to submit required inspection reports and the 2020 violation about door lock monitoring remain active. While there have been numerous complaints and violations logged over the years, many are either resolved or inspected with no violations found. The building's management has maintained regular bedbug and rodent inspection reporting, showing diligence in these specific areas.
