10-06 Neilson Street, Queens, NY 11691

10-06 Neilson Street is a 6-story, 108-unit Class A residential building in Far Rockaway, constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Morris Schreiber. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between November 2024 and February 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. During this period, HPD issued several violations related to inadequate heat and hot water, though some complaints were later closed after occupants confirmed corrections. More recent complaints continue to indicate building-wide heating system concerns, with the most recent complaint in February 2025 being closed without building access for inspection.

The building has faced various maintenance challenges, most notably centered around the 6th-floor apartment (6F), where multiple violations were documented in late 2024. These included issues with roof leaks, pest infestation (mice), interior repairs, and problems with carbon monoxide detection equipment. Additional violations were recorded in late 2024 regarding hot water availability and access to the heating system. The building's mechanical systems have also been scrutinized, with a history of elevator and boiler-related complaints between 2020 and 2022, though these were typically resolved with no violations found upon inspection.

While the property has had some bedbug incidents reported between 2018-2022, recent filings for the past three years show no infestations. The building has generally passed rodent inspections in recent years, though there were some failures noted in 2017-2019 that required correction. The property has an active history of tenant complaints and required maintenance interventions, with the most pressing ongoing issues appearing to be related to the heating system. While some violations have been resolved and corrected over time, the recurring nature of heat-related complaints suggests this remains a persistent challenge for the building's management.
