14-03 Heyson Road, Queens, NY 11691

The 30-unit residential building at 14-03 Heyson Road in Far Rockaway, owned by Ilsoo Kim, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past two years, most significantly regarding heating and hot water systems. Between October 2023 and October 2024, there were multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints filed in October and November 2023, though some inspections found no violations.

More recently, in October 2024, the building received three concurrent complaints regarding paint/plaster issues, unsanitary garbage storage conditions, and flooring problems, though inspectors found no housing law violations in these cases. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges in recent years, including multiple code violations and repair needs. These include electrical outlet problems, window frame issues in Apartment 106, and a missing radiator valve in Apartment 203, all documented in late 2023 with violations issued.

Safety and compliance matters were addressed in October 2023 when violations regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements, housing information guide notices, and smoke detector requirements were noted and subsequently closed. The property has maintained a consistent record of bedbug-free status since the last reported incident in 2020, and while there have been multiple rodent inspections and baiting efforts in 2023-2024, the most recent compliance inspection in April 2025 passed without issues, suggesting improvement in pest management. Notably, the building's overall maintenance history shows attention to regulatory requirements, with violations being documented, addressed, and closed within reasonable timeframes, though the frequency and nature of heating system complaints warrant attention.
