131-11 Kew Gardens Road, Queens, NY 11418

131-11 Kew Gardens Road is a 6-story, 84-unit residential building constructed in 1960, currently owned by Armin Radoncic. The property has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past year (2024-2025) that require attention. Most notably, in December 2024, violations were issued for broken or missing window guards in apartment 1D, representing a safety concern. The building experienced multiple water-related issues in 2024, with complaints about slow leaks in October (closed without violations) and April (associated with a Class A violation).

There were also inspection-verified issues with ceiling conditions requiring plaster and paint repairs in multiple instances, including a mold problem in bathroom 1D that was certified for correction in June 2024. The building's history shows recurring concerns with building systems and safety features, particularly the elevator service, which has generated multiple complaints between 2020 and 2023 regarding single device operation and no alternate service, though no violations were found during inspections. A significant safety violation was noted in May 2021 regarding blocked fire escape gates, though this was subsequently resolved. Current open violations from April 2024 remain regarding ceiling and window casing issues in apartment 6H.

The building management has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past two years (2023-2024), showing no infestations during this period. While there is an active violation related to FISP Cycle 9A technical report submission (issued February 2022), many historical violations have been resolved or dismissed, indicating some responsiveness to regulatory requirements. The Department of Buildings' records show a mix of resolved and unresolved issues for the property, with the most recent concerns primarily focusing on window safety features and water-related maintenance. The building has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices over the years, with the management generally responding to most issues through compliance actions or repairs, though some problems have persisted across multiple inspection cycles.
