141-29 84th Drive, Queens, NY 11435

141-29 84th Drive is a 6-story, 10-unit residential building located in Briarwood, constructed in 2008 and currently owned by Ronen Shiponi. The building has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most notably, there has been a recurring problem with mold, evidenced by both a 311 complaint in August 2022 and an emergency Housing Maintenance Code complaint filed the same month, though no violations were ultimately issued.

The building has also faced challenges with pest control compliance, receiving multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021-2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports, despite the most recent 2024-2025 report indicating no infested units. More recently, there have been significant rodent control issues, with inspections in 2025 showing rat activity, following previous bait applications in 2022. The building's systems and infrastructure have also been the subject of multiple complaints and violations.

A 2019 elevator-related issue resulted in an Environmental Control Board (ECB) violation regarding hoistway vent cover repairs and key access. Earlier violations from 2018 cited inadequate lighting in exit discharge and public corridor areas near building entrances, for which a penalty of $312 was imposed. The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene received a smoking-related complaint in 2020 that was subsequently addressed. While some violations have been promptly resolved, including those related to building code compliance and lighting issues, the recurring nature of maintenance problems, particularly regarding mold and rodent activity, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and pest management.
