Open heat violations, locked boiler access, and active commercial food venting define the recent friction for this Astoria rental.
26 open housing-code violations sit on this 40-unit Astoria pre-war, including 7 Class C immediately hazardous tickets. The record shows boiler access problems during cold-weather calls, concentrated unit-level repairs, and neighborhood restaurant exhaust activity. Three things to know:
Inspectors encountered a locked boiler room while responding to a heat call. In April 2026, inspectors issued two Class C citations on the same day: one for failing to supply adequate heat to Apartment 1J, and a second because the cellar boiler room door was locked, preventing access to the heating system.
Commercial food venting and kitchen odors register on the surrounding block. 15 food establishment complaints were logged within three blocks over the last 12 months, with the most recent filed September 13, 2026. These calls typically reflect commercial kitchen exhaust, grease odors, or venting fumes drifting into residential lines.
A cluster of open maintenance and safety citations stems from a single unit. A single inspection in July 2024 generated seven separate open tickets in Apartment 3J. The report details active water leaks, broken ceiling and wall plaster, defective light fixtures, and missing or non-functional smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.
