11-17 Mcbride Street, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story, three-unit building at 11-17 McBride Street in Bayswater, owned by Ruth Roberts, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since its construction in 2006. Most recently, in late October 2024, there were emergency complaints regarding mold and door issues, though HPD was unable to complete inspections for these complaints. The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with multiple complaints between 2020 and 2021, particularly during the winter months, though most were promptly addressed and indicated restoration of services.

An infestation incident involving bedbugs was reported in 2022, and while there have been three "Annual Bedbug Reporting" violations (in 2021, 2022, and 2024) related to the failure to submit required documentation, subsequent filings through 2024 have shown no active infestations or eradications. Earlier maintenance issues included a pest infestation complaint in September 2022, which HPD could not inspect. The building's most pressing recent issues appear to be the mold and door problems reported in late 2024.

Despite the various maintenance concerns, the property has maintained an overall pattern of responsive remediation, typically addressing issues within a few days, as evidenced by the closure of most service requests. The bedbug situation seems to have stabilized, with the most recent reports (starting August 2024) indicating no current infestations, following a previous spike in 2022 when three units were affected. The building's relatively recent construction date (2006) suggests that while maintenance issues have occurred, they reflect typical urban building challenges rather than systemic infrastructure problems.
