123-40 83rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11415

The 11-story, 132-unit residential building at 123-40 83rd Avenue in Kew Gardens, owned by Caroline Cancellara, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning water-related problems. The most significant cluster of complaints occurred in spring 2024, with multiple water leak reports between April and May, including slow leaks and damp spots, along with plumbing issues involving steam pipes and risers. Earlier plumbing concerns were documented in 2023, notably involving toilet facilities, and there was a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in mid-2022.

A notable cluster of violations was recorded in March 2023 in apartment 3H, involving defective carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and self-closing doors, though these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's elevator system and fire safety components have also required attention, with multiple violations related to self-closing doors documented in 2022-2023. The property has shown commitment to pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past five years, including the most recent 2023-2024 reporting period.

Recent building management practices include responsiveness to maintenance issues, as evidenced by prompt inspections of most service requests, though some complaints required re-filing due to access issues. The building's infrastructure has required ongoing attention, with multiple permits issued in 2018-2019 for elevator modernization work and other improvements, and a notable elevator-related ECB violation in 2023 resulting in a $1,250 penalty. While the property has experienced various maintenance challenges, records indicate that most issues have been addressed through proper channels, with no recent patterns of unresolved violations or recurring emergencies.
