42-49 Colden Street, Queens, NY 11355
The 15-story, 284-unit residential building at 42-49 Colden Street in Flushing, owned by Irina Svirsky and built in 1962, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety-related issues over recent years. The property has demonstrated recurring problems with door/window issues, evidenced by multiple March-April 2025 complaints and violations, though inspections found no housing law violations. More concerning are recent health and safety problems, including a 2025 pest infestation (May) that resulted in HPD violations, multiple unsanitary conditions, and HVAC-related issues (December 2024) involving ventilation problems that required corrective action.
The building's infrastructure has shown signs of strain, with recent reports of electrical wiring issues, water leaks (June 2025), and multiple appliance problems, including a non-functioning refrigerator in apartment 12V (November 2024). The elevator system has been a persistent area of concern, with multiple complaints between 2018-2024 regarding multiple devices and service (most recent in September 2024), though inspections generally found no violations. Periodic bedbug outbreaks have been documented, with the most significant infestation occurring in 2022-2023 affecting 22 units, though subsequent reports from 2023-2024 show no new cases.
The building has generally passed recent rodent inspections (2022 and 2025), though there was a failure in 2017. Numerous housing maintenance code violations were recorded in late 2024, including issues with self-closing doors, refrigeration units, and various repair needs in apartment 12V, though most violations have been certified as corrected. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, most emergencies appear to be addressed promptly, though some violations from 2024 remain open as of the latest records.
