84-31 Van Wyck Expwy Sr E, Queens, NY 11435

The building at 84-31 Van Wyck Expressway, owned by Ronnie Lipkin, is a 6-story residential structure with 73 units, constructed in 1954 in the Briarwood neighborhood. The property has experienced several notable events over the past few years, with the most recent being a July 2024 complaint about unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions, which was inspected by HPD with no violations issued.

In 2021, the building underwent significant construction work that led to multiple safety violations, including problems with construction safety compliance, illegal material storage, and inadequate safety netting systems, resulting in several fines totaling over $10,000. The construction period also saw issues with facade maintenance being cited, particularly in early 2021, with violations regarding cracked coatings and defective coping. The building has demonstrated good pest management practices in recent years, with no bedbug infestations reported in any of the five consecutive annual reports from 2020 through 2024.

A notable issue from 2020-2021 involved non-compliance with an immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violation that has remained active as of 2023. The property's service history shows a mix of resolved and active violations, with most issues being addressed through inspection and correction, including a 2024 unsanitary conditions complaint that resulted in no violations being found upon inspection. The building's permit history shows a construction-related permit was issued in April 2021, which likely corresponds to the period of multiple construction safety violations recorded during that year.
