13-47 Pinson Street, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story, three-unit building at 13-47 Pinson Street in Bayswater, owned by George Buskey and constructed in 1905, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most notably, there is a persistent pattern of violation related to the required annual bedbug reporting, with open violations listed for 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024. The building experienced multiple emergency situations in early 2021, including a heat/hot water emergency on February 11 and a power outage on April 6, though no violations were issued for these incidents.

A concerning violation from February 2021 pertains to defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the third-floor apartment (Apartment 3), as well as an inadequate gas supply to the kitchen range in the same unit, all of which remain open. Earlier in 2021, various complaints were filed and investigated, including issues with an electric/gas range and window frames, though some complaints required re-filing due to lack of access for inspection. The building has a documented history of utility and appliance-related problems, with multiple complaints about cooking gas, window frames, and electrical systems between 2020 and 2021.

While many of these complaints were closed without violations being issued, they indicate recurring maintenance issues. The property has been classified as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A," indicating it was converted to residential use from another classification, which is typical for many buildings of its age in New York City. The most recent inspections and violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, which have remained open since 2021, suggest ongoing non-compliance with housing maintenance code requirements.
