80-25 Parsons Boulevard, Queens, NY 11432

The 112-unit, 3-story residential building at 80-25 Parsons Boulevard in Jamaica Estates, built in 1962, has experienced multiple infrastructure and maintenance issues over the past year and beyond. Most notably, there have been recurring heating and hot water problems, with a significant building-wide loss of heat/hot water reported in February 2025, though services were restored during inspection. Plumbing issues have also been persistent, with recent complaints about water supply problems in June 2025 and radiator issues earlier in 2025, along with a history of elevator-related complaints, including an active complaint from 2025 about multiple devices on the property.

The building has faced several sanitary challenges, including pest infestations, with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene receiving complaints about both rats and general pest issues in 2025, and prior violations regarding roach infestations in apartment A16 documented in late 2024. The property has experienced several code compliance issues, including violations related to paint/plaster conditions, most notably in apartment A16, where multiple violations were issued in October 2024 for various maintenance problems including broken plastered surfaces, metal cabinets, and wood paneling. There are also active Department of Buildings violations regarding gas equipment from 2023, with a penalty of $12,500 related to work performed without proper permits.

The building's heating system and plumbing infrastructure appear to require ongoing maintenance attention, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and the inability of inspectors to gain access during several inspection attempts. While there have been some building-wide inspections that passed (such as the January 2024 rodent inspection), the persistent nature of these issues, particularly regarding heating and plumbing systems, suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges. However, it should be noted that the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported in recent years, according to the official reporting system.
