19-13 New Haven Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 19-13 New Haven Avenue in Far Rockaway, owned by Chaim Yagudaev, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years. Most significantly, in September 2024, the property faced multiple related problems including water leaks, mold concerns, and issues with the ceiling affecting apartment habitability, resulting in both emergency and non-emergency HPD complaints. While HPD inspections confirmed some violations, other complaints were closed without violations being issued.

The building also received a heat/hot water-related complaint in December 2022 that was ultimately resolved. A September 2024 inspection revealed multiple violations related to building safety and maintenance requirements, though most were classified as "A" violations (which are generally considered more serious). These included requirements to post various safety notices regarding gas leaks, smoke detector requirements, and building registration information, as well as issues with a broken ceiling light fixture and a malfunctioning carbon monoxide detector in the public hall.

The inspection also found both mold and fire retardant material concerns in the cellar area, and a specific water leak issue in the bathroom ceiling of the first-floor apartment that required repair. Despite these maintenance challenges, the building's bedbug reporting history for the past three years shows no infestations or related issues, suggesting effective pest management practices. The most recent inspection violations were certified for correction by January 2025, indicating the owner's intent to address these safety and maintenance requirements.
