90-42 Parsons Boulevard, Queens, NY 11432

The three-story, two-family house at 90-42 Parsons Boulevard in Jamaica, owned by Andrew Berger, has experienced several significant issues over recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, the building has two active violations from June 2023 related to the failure to file 2018 and 2019 external low-pressure inspections, and there is an open rodent violation from 2020 concerning encumbrances in public hall areas across the second and third stories.

The property has a documented history of heat and electrical issues, with resident complaints about building-wide outages in late 2021, though no violations were issued following inspections. Prior maintenance concerns include multiple violations in 2020 affecting the second-floor apartment, involving defective wood flooring and plaster surfaces, though these were subsequently closed. The building's safety protocols have been under scrutiny, with open violations from 2018-2020 related to the lack of required gas leak notice postings in common areas.

The property's rodent inspection history shows variable results, with evidence of rat activity noted in July 2021 and January 2022, following earlier compliance successes in 2013 and 2014. While some maintenance issues appear to have been addressed over time, as evidenced by the closure of various violations, the persistence of certain open violations as of 2023, particularly regarding external low-pressure inspections and public hall encumbrances, indicates ongoing compliance challenges. The building, constructed in 1931, has experienced periodic maintenance issues typical of its age, with various violations related to building systems and structural elements appearing throughout recent years.
