42-18 Bell Boulevard, Queens, NY 11361
42-18 Bell Boulevard is a 3-story, 4-unit Class A residential building located in Bayside, built in 2015 and currently owned by Meichuang Li. The building has experienced several notable issues over its operational history, with the most significant being a cluster of heating system problems in early 2021, including two separate emergency heat/hot water complaints in February that resulted in Housing Maintenance Code violations. A subsequent series of violations were recorded in 2021, including missing window guards and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2A, and issues with heat supply. The building has maintained good bedbug management practices, with no reported infestations in the last three annual reports (2022-2024), though multiple violations were issued in 2021 for failure to file annual bedbug reports.
More recently, in 2023-2024, there have been several complaints regarding vent/exhaust systems, though inspections found no violations. An electrical work violation was issued in 2023 with an $800 penalty, and there were concerns about the building's elevator system in 2022, which were ultimately determined to have no violations. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved violations, including issues with elevator inspection compliance (2019-2021), and various safety equipment requirements. The property underwent rodent inspections in 2014 and 2015, with initial failures noted in June 2014, though subsequent inspections showed compliance.
The most recent bedbug report filing in December 2024 indicates no infestations during the 2023-2024 period, continuing a positive trend since 2022. The building's permit history shows an electrical/wiring permit was issued in April 2019, though specific work details are not provided in the data. The comprehensive inspection and violation history suggests that while the building has experienced recurring issues, particularly in its early years regarding heating systems and safety equipment, it has shown improvement in recent years with no major recurring problems. The current state of the building shows no active violations or recent significant complaints, though the historical pattern of heating system and safety equipment issues may be of note to current and prospective tenants.
