84-01 Main Street, Queens, NY 11435

The 200-unit residential building at 84-01 Main Street in Briarwood, owned by Gena Moore and constructed in 1956, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years. As of mid-2025, there are ongoing concerns with unsanitary garbage/recycling storage conditions (opened June 2025) and recurring problems with ceiling maintenance, as evidenced by multiple PAINT/PLASTER complaints in May and June 2025, some of which resulted in violations. Water leak issues have also been reported, particularly heavy flow incidents in May 2025.

The building has documented rodent activity, with a failed inspection in March 2024 and previous rat activity noted in December 2022, though it passed its most recent compliance inspection in May 2024. The property has an extensive history of violations and maintenance issues over the past several years. In 2022, Apartment 110 was found to have multiple violations including defective plastered surfaces, faulty smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and door issues, though many of these were subsequently corrected.

Exterior maintenance has also been a concern, with Environmental Control Board violations in 2021 and 2023 noting issues with the building facade and appurtenances, including cracked brick masonry and degraded brick joints. Elevator inspections in 2018-2019 showed no violations, and the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations reported from 2020 to present, with only one reported case in 2019 (9 units affected). The property has demonstrated some progress in addressing maintenance issues, as evidenced by various violations being resolved over time, though several open violations remain as of 2025.
