123-26 83rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11415

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 123-26 83rd Avenue in Kew Gardens, owned by Eric Bluestone, has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems over the past five years. Most recently, in June 2025, an immediate emergency complaint was filed regarding heat/hot water issues, following a similar emergency complaint in December 2020.

The 2020 incident was particularly notable as inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to the apartments for inspection. While there was one bedbug-related violation issued in April 2021 regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report, this appears to have been an administrative issue rather than an infestation problem.

The building has consistently demonstrated proper pest management protocols in subsequent years, with all six bedbug reports filed between 2021 and 2025 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units, covering the periods from 2019 through 2024, suggesting effective monitoring and maintenance practices in this area. The building's age (constructed in 1991) and its documented history of heating system issues suggest this could be an ongoing maintenance challenge, though the regularity of bedbug reporting and consistent documentation of zero infestation incidents points to good compliance with pest management regulations. While the heating issues have recurred periodically, they appear to have been addressed through official channels, with the most recent complaint still awaiting further inspection or resolution as of mid-2025.
