205-02 42nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11361

The 27-unit, 3-story residential building at 205-02 42nd Avenue in Bayside, owned by David Magier, has experienced recurring heating system issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been five heat and hot water complaints reported between December 2024 and February 2025, including two in February 2025 alone, which were classified as emergencies.

These recent incidents follow a similar pattern of heating system problems, with violations issued in December 2024 related to inadequate heat supply in apartment 2B and restricted access to the boiler room. The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no recorded infestations in the past six reporting periods from 2019 through 2024. Prior to the recent heating issues, the building experienced several maintenance concerns in July 2023, including reports of a power outage, pest problems, window frame issues, wall conditions, and heat-related matters, though most of these were resolved with no violations issued.

A 2021 violation related to the annual bedbug report filing was addressed and closed. The pattern of heating-related complaints suggests an ongoing challenge with the building's heating infrastructure, while the absence of any bedbug infestations in recent years indicates effective pest management. The building's age (constructed in 1948) and status as a "Class A" residential building are consistent with many of the typical maintenance issues encountered in similar structures in New York City.
