140-71 Burden Crescent, Queens, NY 11435

The three-unit, three-story building at 140-71 Burden Crescent in Briarwood, owned by David Ganz, has a concerning history of maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, in the first half of 2022, the building experienced significant electrical problems, including a power outage that triggered multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations, particularly affecting Apartment 2NDFLO.

These violations encompassed exposed electrical wires behind the kitchen refrigerator, inadequate electrical service to fixtures, and smoke detector deficiencies. While some of these electrical violations were later closed, several remain open as of October 2023. The building has two notable open violations from 2023-2024 regarding non-compliance with mandatory bedbug reporting requirements, and an April 2022 violation related to carbon monoxide detector requirements that remains open.

The property has also faced challenges with its infrastructure and safety systems, including issues with door security and self-closing mechanisms in Apartment 2NDFLO, and a violation regarding the proper posting of inspection certificates in a common area. Prior to these recent issues, the building experienced rodent activity in 2017, though it passed inspection for this concern in 2010. The building was constructed in 1960 and has been classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating it has undergone some form of conversion from its original classification, though the specific details of this conversion are not provided in the available data.
