Small Astoria rental with lapses in annual paperwork and notable street-level friction around the block.
A 6-unit Astoria walk-up built in 1927 that appears to be family-held via a trust deed transfer in 2020. The building carries 6 open administrative violations, while street-level complaints around the block reflect heavy curb competition and air quality reports. Three things to know:
Required annual administrative filings have fallen behind. The building carries 6 open violations, all tied to missed administrative filings. Four are Class A notices for failing to file annual bedbug reports (spanning 2023 through May 2026), and two cite the owner for failing to file a valid property registration statement, most recently in November 2025.
Indoor air quality complaints show up on the surrounding blocks. Nine indoor air quality calls were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, running through September 10, 2026. Airborne fumes and odor complaints often stem from ground-floor commercial kitchens or shared HVAC and pipe risers, making unit position crucial before signing.
Driveway access and curb space are constant local friction points. Six calls for blocked driveways were logged directly against this address between November 2024 and November 2025. Across the three blocks surrounding the building, curb access is tight, with 172 blocked-driveway calls and 281 illegal-parking complaints over the past year (mostly blocked hydrants and posted sign violations).
