209-30 43rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11361

**Building Summary Report for 209-30 43rd Avenue, Bayside (As of July 2025)** This three-story, 42-unit residential building constructed in 1949, currently owned by Morris Schreiber, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems over the past two years, with multiple complaints filed in 2022-2025 indicating inconsistent service to both individual apartments and the entire building. More recently, in 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding pest infestations and sanitation issues, including garbage storage problems; HPD inspectors attempted but were reportedly unable to complete inspections for these complaints. The building has also faced maintenance challenges, as evidenced by several violations in late 2024, including water leak issues and problems with public hall conditions requiring repairs to walls, ceilings, and marble treads.

Several emergency repairs were addressed between 2022-2024, including issues with windows, doors, and an intercom system. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices from different agencies, including the Department of Buildings and the Department of Health. A notable incident occurred in 2019 regarding a defective boiler relief valve that was subsequently resolved. Notably, there have been no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years (2019-2024), and while there were rodent-related complaints and inspections, the most recent inspection in October 2024 resulted in a "Passed" status, suggesting improvements in pest control measures.

The building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero infested or eradicated units in recent years, though there was one report of rat activity in December 2023. Recent improvements were noted in 2024, with several violations being certified as corrected, including repairs to the public hall walls and ceiling. However, as of October 2024, there remains an open violation regarding the roof bulkhead door self-closing mechanism. While the building has experienced periodic infrastructure issues typical of older structures, including water systems and entrance security, there is evidence of ongoing maintenance efforts to address these concerns.
