13-67 Mcbride Street, Queens, NY 11691

The two-family house at 13-67 McBride Street in the Bayswater neighborhood, owned by Rafael Badalov, is a 1915-built property experiencing significant maintenance issues as of 2025. The building has generated multiple Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints in 2025 alone, including emergency-level concerns about mold (categorized as unsanitary conditions) and issues with doors and sinks, as well as non-emergency complaints regarding flooring, pests, plumbing, and windows.

Notably, HPD inspectors have encountered multiple access issues during inspection attempts for various complaints, including for problems related to flooring/stairs, pests, and door/window issues. Prior to these recent complaints, there were also concerns in early 2025 about heating/hot water systems and an electric/gas range, though inspectors were unable to gain access to perform necessary evaluations.

The Department of Buildings has two notable historical complaints on record: one from December 2024 regarding building shaking/vibration which was inspected without violations being found, and an illegal conversion complaint from November 2021 where inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation despite it being a second final attempt. The building's current status as of March 2025 shows a pattern of unresolved maintenance issues, with multiple complaints requiring follow-up inspections that were not completed, particularly in relation to pest problems and various structural elements. While some complaints have been closed without violations being issued (such as a water leak and paint/plaster issue), the overall pattern suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and access for inspection purposes.
