22-79 Mott Avenue, Queens, NY 11691
The three-story, two-family house at 22-79 Mott Avenue in Bayswater, built in 1915 and currently owned by Ny General Contracting And Const Inc, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues over the past several years. Most recently, in November 2024, there were multiple water leak complaints (both slow and heavy flow) and window frame issues reported to HPD, though inspections did not result in any violations. In 2022, the building faced significant challenges including violations related to heating issues, unsanitary conditions including sewage problems and pests, and multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations in Apartment 1A, such as defective light fixtures, required painting, and water leak repairs.
The building's structural integrity was brought into question in August 2022, leading to several emergency complaints about building shaking, structural stability, and a full vacate order. There are currently active illegal conversion complaints from November 2024, and multiple outstanding Department of Buildings violations regarding the building's condition and maintenance, including structural concerns and failure to comply with previous commissioner's orders. The property has a concerning history of water-related issues, with multiple leak complaints throughout 2024, and historical problems indicated by the 2022 Housing Maintenance Code violations.
There are also active Environmental Control Board violations from 2022-2023 related to structural deficiencies, building neglect, and illegal occupancy, with significant penalties totaling over $160,000 currently outstanding. The building's maintenance history shows patterns of delayed responses to violations and repeated complaints about various systems, including heating, plumbing, and structural elements. Recent inspections in 2024 have shown some improvements, as no violations were issued during inspections of the latest complaints, though the presence of multiple simultaneous complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
