213-38 29th Avenue, Queens, NY 11360

The three-family house at 213-38 29th Avenue in Bayside, built in 1940 and owned by Farrell Corcoran, has experienced a notable pattern of maintenance issues in recent months. The most pressing concerns have been around heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints between July and November 2024, including three related to heat/hot water issues in November alone.

While some of these complaints were resolved when heat and hot water were restored or when occupants confirmed systems were functioning, there were several instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to complete their evaluations. The building has also faced challenges with cooking gas systems, as evidenced by multiple complaints in 2024, including an emergency complaint in November that could not be inspected due to access issues.

Additional maintenance concerns have included problems with damp spots or leaks (August 2024), which resulted in violations being issued, and various issues related to paint/plaster (including both walls and ceiling), window frames, and window panes, some of which were classified as emergency situations in July 2024. There was also a safety inspection regarding carbon monoxide detectors in July 2024, which resulted in no violations being found. The building's recent history suggests ongoing challenges with basic utilities and systems, particularly heating and cooking gas, with a recurring pattern of inspection access issues complicating resolution efforts.
