210-02 43rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11361

The 63-unit, 3-story multi-family building at 210-02 43rd Avenue in Bayside, owned by A.b.k. Apartments Inc., was constructed in 1951 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there has been a pattern of heating and water supply problems, with multiple complaints in 2025 alone regarding both entire building and apartment-specific heat/hot water issues, including one complaint that affected the entire building in January 2025. The building has also faced plumbing challenges, with both water supply and leak issues reported frequently throughout 2024-2025.

Multiple violations were documented in 2024, particularly in apartments 1B and 2C, including issues with water leaks, mold, and bathroom maintenance concerns. Apartment 1B also had significant safety violations noted in September 2024, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's history shows some concerning patterns, particularly regarding water-related issues, with multiple slow leak complaints documented through 2025. There were also several boiler-related complaints in early 2021, though inspections typically found no violations at that time.

The property has maintained an active bedbug prevention record, showing no infestations reported in the past seven years. While there were documented rodent activity issues in 2018, recent inspections in 2022 and 2024 have shown passed rodent inspections, suggesting improved conditions in this regard. Environmental Control Board violations were issued in 2019 and 2021 related to boiler and pressure control maintenance, though these were resolved with penalties. The building has consistently filed bedbug reports since 2018 showing zero infested units, and recent rodent inspections have generally passed, indicating some improvement in pest management.
