135-16 82nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The 6-story, 64-unit residential building at 135-16 82nd Avenue in Briarwood, owned by Barry Rudofsky, has experienced several notable issues between 2023 and 2025. Most recently, in April 2025, multiple paint/plaster issues were reported involving ceilings and walls, along with door problems, though HPD inspections were unable to be completed. The building faced consistent heat and hot water complaints in early 2025, with several reports between January and March indicating temporary restoration of services.

Significant violations were documented in late 2024, particularly affecting Apartment 2D, including water leak issues, plaster surface problems, and a reported roach infestation. The building has also faced some safety concerns, with C-class violations identified in late 2024 regarding self-closing door issues in the compactor closet and laundry room. Historical data shows recurring infrastructure and maintenance challenges, including multiple heat and hot water complaints throughout early 2025, and past violations related to elevator systems and plumbing maintenance. The building's elevator system experienced problems in 2018-2019, with multiple complaints resulting in Oath Violations.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2021 highlighted concerns about gas dryer connections and sprinkler systems in the laundry room, though these were resolved with penalties paid. While the building has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2018, rodent inspections have shown inconsistent results, with recent inspections in 2025 indicating rat activity. The building's FISP requirements have also been a concern, with active violations noted for failing to file technical reports in 2023, following a similar issue in 2018. The property has undergone various permitted work projects between 2018-2019, though specific details about these improvements are not provided in the data.
