13-83 Mcbride Street, Queens, NY 11691

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 13-83 Mcbride Street in Bayswater, owned by Colleen Adams, has experienced several concerning issues since 2021. Most recently, from late 2024 through early 2025, there were multiple complaints regarding illegal conversions, with four separate instances documented between October 2023 and January 2025.

Access was denied or not granted on several inspection attempts during this period, though one inspection in August 2024 resulted in an Oath Violation being served. In 2022, there were two significant emergency complaints: a heavy water leak (September) and electrical issues (May) resulting in violations. The building's records also show multiple complaints in March 2021 related to potentially unsafe conditions, including gas piping issues, work contrary to stop work orders, and unlicensed activity, though inspections generally found no violations or warranted corrections at that time.

The property has two documented violations related to failure to certify correction on immediately hazardous (Class 1) ECB violations, one issued in April 2021 and another in June 2021, both of which were eventually dismissed. While the building's age (constructed in 1920) and history as a "Heretofore Converted Class A" property are typical for many New York City buildings, the pattern of recent illegal conversion complaints and water/electrical issues suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges. Recent inspection attempts regarding illegal conversions have been met with access issues, raising questions about the current condition of the building's interior spaces.
