22-53 Mott Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

22-53 Mott Avenue is a five-story, three-unit residential building in Bayswater, constructed in 2016 and currently owned by Moshe Sdayeb. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues and emergencies in recent years, with the most pressing being three heat/hot water complaints in 2025, including one classified as emergency. In early 2025, there were also complaints about cabinets and mold issues, though inspections found no housing law violations for these.

A notable incident occurred in June 2023 involving power outages, plumbing issues, and fire damage affecting multiple apartments (1, 2, and 3) which required HPD intervention and resulted in violations. Earlier in 2023, there were issues with appliances (refrigerator and electric/gas range) that also resulted in violations. The building is currently under two open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2024: one for failing to file an annual bedbug report and another related to defective self-closing doors at the bulkhead.

The property underwent construction between 2018-2020, during which several Environmental Control Board violations were issued related to inadequate housekeeping and construction safety compliance, though these were resolved. Historical records show multiple Department of Buildings complaints in 2019-2022 regarding construction practices and safety concerns, most of which were closed without finding violations. The building's bedbug report for the period of November 2021 to October 2022 indicated no infestations, and permits for new construction work were properly issued in 2019. While many historical complaints show either no violations were found or were resolved, the pattern of recent maintenance issues, particularly concerning basic services like heat/hot water and electrical systems, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance.
