84-50 Austin Street, Queens, NY 11415

84-50 Austin Street is a 6-story, 75-unit residential building in Kew Gardens, built in 1955 and currently owned by Morris Schreiber. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water issues throughout 2024, with multiple emergency complaints filed between April and December of that year, though inspections often found the problems had been resolved by the time of inspection.

Additionally, there were sanitation concerns in 2024, particularly regarding garbage and recycling storage, which resulted in violations. The most recent inspection for rodent conditions in June 2025 passed with no violations, following earlier concerns in 2024, though a sewage odor complaint was recorded in October 2024. The building's infrastructure has shown some ongoing maintenance needs, including several Housing Maintenance Code violations identified in August 2024 related to self-closing doors and door latches in the basement, as well as issues with an elevator.

A particular incident in 2019 regarding occupancy violations resulted in multiple Environmental Control Board penalties against Arizona Holding Corp., with fines totaling over $10,000, though these appear to have been resolved. While the building has maintained an active permit schedule through 2020-2022 for various maintenance works, the documented issues suggest ongoing attention is required for both heating systems and building maintenance. Notably, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations since 2019, indicating effective pest management in this regard.
