123-14 83rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11415

The 3-story, 4-unit building at 123-14 83rd Avenue in Kew Gardens, owned by Ira Lichtiger, has experienced recurring water-related issues since 2020, with the most recent complaints occurring in October 2023 involving both slow leaks and mold issues. The building, constructed in 1991, underwent significant water leak problems in 2022, including a notable case in April involving heavy flow that was confirmed to affect apartment 3A, where violations were issued for ceiling leaks and damaged plaster surfaces.

Previous inspections in 2020 revealed similar problems, particularly in apartment 1, where violations were documented for water leaks, mold, and various maintenance issues including door and appliance problems. The building's inspection history shows a pattern of moisture-related concerns, with multiple instances of mold and water leaks documented through both 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code violations. While most violations have been closed, including those from 2020 through 2022, the recurring nature of water-related issues suggests an ongoing challenge.

However, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the building since records began in 2019, with all annual reports showing zero infested units and no eradication or re-infestation cases. Most recent maintenance issues appear to be adequately addressed by HPD inspections, which have generally found no violations in recent investigations, though problems were noted during the inspection of October 2023. The building's history demonstrates regular interaction with housing authorities regarding maintenance issues, requiring multiple responses to address recurring problems, particularly related to moisture and water management.
