42-11 Corporal Kennedy St, Queens, NY 11361

The 3-story, 219-unit residential building at 42-11 Corporal Kennedy Street in Bayside, owned by Morris Schreiber, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years. Recent HPD inspections in May 2025 revealed violations related to both flooring/stairs and unsanitary conditions (pests), while earlier this year, there were complaints about paint/plaster issues and heat/hot water problems that inspectors were unable to access for verification.

Notably, Apartment 1A has documented violations from October 2024 including water damage, mold conditions, and repair needs for plastered surfaces and paint in various rooms and ceilings. The building has also faced recurring rodent issues, with multiple reports between 2024-2025 showing both rat activity and mouse sightings, though a compliance inspection in December 2024 resulted in a passing grade. The property has a history of heating system problems, with several HPD complaints in 2024-2025 reporting heat/hot water issues, though some were closed due to lack of access for inspection.

In 2024, the building received multiple housing maintenance code violations requiring attention to issues such as window repairs, water leaks, and mold conditions. The Department of Buildings issued violations in 2018 related to unsafe waste line storage conditions that resulted in a $10,000 penalty, though records indicate this was resolved. While the building has had no reported bedbug infestations in recent years (2022-2024), the ongoing challenges with heat, water, pests, and maintenance issues suggest persistent building system and maintenance difficulties requiring attention.
