140-17 84th Drive, Queens, NY 11435

The 62-unit, 6-story residential building at 140-17 84th Drive in Briarwood, owned by Anastasios Magoulas, has experienced several concerning issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a 2024 mold violation that remains unresolved. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints between 2020-2024, though many of these were resolved quickly. Of particular note is the current situation in apartment 3J, where multiple violations were documented in September 2024, including issues with mold, water leaks, pest infestations (roaches and mice), and missing safety features such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has also faced plumbing issues, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations between 2019-2024. The property's maintenance record shows a pattern of deferred maintenance, particularly regarding safety systems and building infrastructure. In 2021, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued for missing door lock monitoring systems, and there are active DOB violations related to the elevator system and exterior wall maintenance.

While the building has passed recent rodent inspections (2022), there have been periods of rat activity documented in 2019 and 2021. The building's bedbug reporting shows a concerning pattern, with all 62 units reported as infested in 2024, though they were subsequently listed as eradicated. This pattern suggests ongoing pest management challenges. The property has maintained active compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2018, but the recent 2024 infestation is notable.
