40-30 235th Street, Queens, NY 11363

40-30 235th Street is a two-family residential building constructed in 1931, located in the Douglaston neighborhood and currently owned by 40-30 235 St. Realty LLC. The building experienced significant construction-related issues in 2022, most notably a scaffold collapse incident in July that resulted in multiple violations against Symmetrical Construction Corp for unsafe conditions, including improperly stored scaffold sections and construction debris, though these violations were later resolved.

A related Environmental Control Board violation from September 2022 regarding failure to comply with the Commissioner's order remains active with a penalty of $6,250. The property has a history of compliance issues regarding required safety inspections, particularly for external low-pressure inspections, with violations issued between 2018 and 2022. However, these violations were subsequently dismissed in April 2024, suggesting proper rectification.

The building experienced a bedbug infestation in 2022 affecting two units, but there have been no reported infestations in the subsequent filings through late 2024, indicating successful eradication. The Department of Buildings has also conducted several compliance inspections between 2022 and 2023, including checks on sidewalk sheds and tracking compliance, with most resulting in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection. While the building has had its share of violations and compliance issues, particularly during 2022-2023, there is no record of currently active major health or safety concerns as of the latest inspection dates.
