43-25 Douglaston Parkway, Queens, NY 11363

The 6-story, 68-unit building at 43-25 Douglaston Parkway, owned by George Balourdos and constructed in 1961, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, from 2022-2023, the building faced serious facade and structural problems, particularly involving cracks in multiple balconies across the 1st to 3rd floor levels on the south elevation, which resulted in three Environmental Control Board violations totaling $7,500 in penalties (though these were later resolved).

The building's maintenance record shows some concerning patterns, including a 2023 violation for unresolved swarming conditions and a 2023 housing maintenance code violation related to an annual bedbug report filing requirement. However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained a clean bedbug record in recent filings, with no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units reported between 2018-2024. The Department of Buildings has documented several complaints and violations since 2020, though many were dismissed or showed no violations upon inspection.

Recent issues (2024-2025) have included compliance inspections related to Local Law 188/17 and concerns about vent/exhaust systems, with at least one inspection in 2025 where the inspector was unable to gain access. While the building has had its share of violations, most have either been resolved or dismissed upon inspection, and the current status of many recent complaints remains active or was resolved without penalties. Regular bedbug reporting shows consistent compliance with reporting requirements since 2019, with no infestations recorded in the past six reporting periods.
