245-10 Grnd Cntrl Pkwy Sr S, Queens, NY 11426

245-10 Grand Central Parkway South is a 6-story, 240-unit residential building located in Bellerose, Queens, built in 1966 and currently owned by Christopher Orpheus. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, most notably during early 2025 when there was a notable sequence of heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building between February 18 and March 23, 2025, which were classified as emergency complaints. More recently, in June 2025, there was a window frame-related complaint that HPD inspectors were unable to access for inspection, resulting in the complaint being closed without resolution confirmation.

The building has undergone various inspections and corrections to address safety and maintenance concerns. In late 2024, violations were documented regarding inadequate heat supply in apartments 2D and 4L, along with issues with self-closing doors and latch assemblies in public areas, particularly around the compactor closet on the 6th floor and stairway B entrance. Historical records show recurring elevator service concerns between 2019 and 2023, with multiple complaints about single elevator service and no alternate access, though inspections generally found no violations. The building has maintained a pest-free record according to bedbug reports from 2019 through 2024, and while there were some rodent activity indications in late 2024, recent inspections in 2025 showed compliance.

Numerous permits for plumbing and electrical work have been issued between 2018 and 2019, suggesting ongoing maintenance and system upgrades. The building's violation history is relatively extensive, with various issues documented between 2019 and 2024 including problems with exterior wall maintenance reporting, safety violations regarding door operations, and heat supply concerns. However, most historical violations appear to have been resolved, with the Department of Buildings finding no warrant for violations during recent inspections. The property has consistently filed timely reports regarding infestation status, showing zero infested units in the most recent annual filings.
