82-16 Parsons Boulevard, Queens, NY 11432

The three-story, three-unit building at 82-16 Parsons Boulevard, owned by Harsharan Kaur and constructed in 1999, is currently facing multiple significant safety and maintenance issues following a recent November 2024 inspection. The most pressing concerns involve hot water system problems, as there are open violations citing water temperatures exceeding 130F degrees in apartment 2, along with a history of heat and hot water complaints, including a recent 2024 complaint that triggered HPD inspection.

The building has also been cited for several critical safety compliance issues, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment 2, along with multiple violations regarding missing or improper posting of safety notices related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures. Additional violations include a defective self-closing door in apartment 2, an illegal double cylinder key-operated lock on the front yard gate, and various open violations categorized as Class A, B, and C, indicating varying levels of severity.

The building's maintenance history shows some attention to pest control, with a July 2022 inspection by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene resulting in a passed inspection following reports of both rat sightings and conditions attracting rodents, though an earlier March 2022 inspection could not access the property. While the building is relatively new compared to many NYC structures, the recent cluster of violations and complaints suggests a need for focused attention on building systems and safety compliance. The most notable aspect of the building's record is the pattern of continuing heat and safety system issues, as evidenced by repeated complaints and inspection findings, with the most recent violations occurring in late 2024 receiving immediate attention but still remaining open as of the current date.
