23-34 Mott Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

Bayswater Gardens, a 3-story, 126-unit residential building constructed in 1949 and currently owned by Bayswater Gardens LLC, has experienced persistent maintenance issues throughout 2025. Recent complaints indicate ongoing pest problems, with four separate pest-related complaints filed between March and May 2025, all resulting in HPD inspections that were unable to gain building access.

The building has also faced multiple appliance-related issues, including problems with electric/gas ranges and lighting, for which HPD inspections in February 2025 were also unable to access the premises. Earlier in 2025, there were serious concerns with heat and hot water systems, as well as water leaks and mold issues that were reportedly resolved upon HPD contact. The building's maintenance history reveals more systemic issues, particularly in Apartment 2A, which was cited for multiple violations in August 2024 related to lead paint hazards, water leaks, and safety equipment deficiencies, including smoke and carbon monoxide detector problems.

Additionally, there was a rodent infestation violation in December 2024, though recent bedbug reports show no infestations between November 2023 and October 2024. The Department of Buildings records indicate a boiler inspection violation from 2019 that was dismissed in 2021, and a construction-related permit was issued in March 2024. While there have been numerous violations and complaints, the majority of them have been closed after appropriate responses or repairs, though the pattern of recent inadequate access for inspections suggests ongoing communication issues between tenants and HPD.
