84-20 Austin Street, Queens, NY 11415
84-20 Austin Street in Kew Gardens is a 6-story, 68-unit residential building constructed in 1955 and currently owned by David Bernhardt. The property has experienced several persistent maintenance issues in recent months, with a notable pattern of complaints emerging in 2025 including elevator maintenance, pest problems, flooring concerns, heating issues, electrical problems, and water leaks. In particular, violations were documented for a slow water leak and appliance issues (specifically related to the electric/gas range) in February 2025, and there were multiple complaints regarding flooring conditions.
The building has also documented mold-related violations in both the 6th and 7th floors during 2024, particularly affecting windows and bathroom areas, though these violations were certified as addressed by January 2025. The property has experienced various system-related issues over the past year, including heating/hot water problems in March 2025 and electrical lighting issues. Historical records show past concerns with building systems, as evidenced by Department of Buildings violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements in 2021, though these were subsequently dismissed.
The building underwent inspections regarding rodent control in 2013 and 2017, passing both assessments, and has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations as per annual reporting from 2019 through 2024. The most recent building permits from 2019 appear to be related to exterior work, though specific details were not provided in the available data. While many recent complaints were investigated by HPD, most were found not to violate housing laws, with the exception of the water leak and appliance issues for which violations were issued and required correction within a specified timeframe.
