13-47 Eggert Place, Queens, NY 11691

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 13-47 Eggert Place in Bayswater, owned by Kenechukwu Okwu and constructed in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years. Most concerning are ongoing pest problems, with multiple complaints filed in 2023 and 2024 that resulted in open violations, particularly affecting apartment 1F.

The building has also faced various infrastructure challenges, including water leak incidents (August 2023), issues with heating and hot water (April 2023), electrical problems (April 2023), and window-related defects (April-August 2023). Significant violations remain open as of September 2023, including concerns about improper garbage storage and accumulation of refuse outside the building, as well as multiple windows requiring repair or replacement in both apartments 1F and 1R.

The property has undergone some regulatory oversight, including a 2019 building permit issuance, and there were requirements for annual bedbug reporting in 2022 and 2023, though the most recent report for the period ending October 2023 indicates no infested units or instances of re-infestation. While the building has had some inspections resulting in violations being documented (e.g., for pest issues, window maintenance, and garbage storage), there have also been complaints in 2023-2024 where inspectors were unable to gain access for evaluation, particularly regarding heat/hot water issues in April 2023 and multiple pest complaints in January 2024. This pattern of maintenance issues, with varying degrees of resolution and enforcement, suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and resident comfort.
