249 Heyson Road, Queens, NY 11691

Oceanview Heyson Housing at 249 Heyson Road is a 6-story, 149-unit residential building constructed in 1974, currently owned by Ilsoo Kim. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, including multiple violations related to paint/plaster damage, window frames, and both a mold and a pest problem, all of which received violations in May 2025. More recently, on June 27, 2025, a complaint regarding illegal pet sales from the residence was filed and remains under investigation.

The building has documented ongoing elevator concerns, with multiple complaints about its single-device status between 2024-2025, though inspections generally found no violations. Safety systems have also been an issue, with violations in 2024 noting defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in apartment R106. In late 2024, the building received violations for various maintenance issues including plumbing, window repairs, and door functionality. The property has demonstrated generally good pest management, with no bedbug infestations reported in the past three years and passing rodent inspections in 2023-2024, though there were some failures noted in 2016.

Historical records show recurring elevator issues, with official violations for electrical problems and safety concerns in 2019-2022, resulting in fines. The building has maintained some compliance with sanitary conditions, evidenced by multiple "No Violation Warranted" findings for various complaints, and rodent inspections have consistently passed since 2023. While the building has undergone various repairs and received multiple violations over the years, it appears that most issues are being addressed through standard regulatory processes, as indicated by the closure of many previous violations and complaints. However, the pattern of recent complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that require monitoring.
