203-15 42nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11361

The 27-unit, 3-story cooperative building at 203-15 42nd Avenue in Bayside, constructed in 1948, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in late 2018 and early 2019. The building faced multiple emergencies related to heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in December 2018 and January 2019, though reports indicated restoration of these services during HPD's investigation.

December 2018 also saw a complaint regarding mold that HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. More recently, in April 2021, a violation was recorded regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement, though subsequent annual filings from 2021 through 2024 show consistent records of zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units, indicating effective pest management since that time.

The building's maintenance record shows some general concerns about hygiene and upkeep, including a November 2019 rodent-related complaint (though an inspection that month found no issues) and a December 2018 violation regarding encumbered public hall space. However, it's worth noting that the property has maintained an active and consistent record of bedbug inspections and reporting since 2019, with no confirmed infestations in recent years, suggesting improved management of this particular issue. While the building has experienced clusters of heating system problems in the past, there have been no reported heating or hot water complaints in the past four years (as of July 2025), which may indicate systems have stabilized, though it's important to note that unreported issues may not be captured in this record.
