Weverit has generated building reports for residential buildings across Queens, using public records maintained by the city. The data below is drawn from reports generated through May 2026 and covers HPD violations, 311 complaints, rent stabilization registrations, and related public records.

Buildings reviewed

Six buildings across five Queens neighborhoods:

  • Queensbridge Houses North, Long Island City (NYCHA, ~3,142 units)
  • Jackson Park, Long Island City (671 units, 28-10 Jackson Ave)
  • Ravenswood Houses, Astoria (NYCHA, ~2,166 units)
  • LeFrak City, Corona (138-unit building within large complex, 98-17 57th Ave)
  • Electchester, Flushing (co-operative building, 164-05 65th Ave)
  • Ocean Bay Apartments, Far Rockaway (56-unit building within ~1,395-unit complex)

HPD violations

Buildings under NYCHA jurisdiction — Queensbridge Houses North and Ravenswood Houses — show zero HPD violations in public records. NYCHA properties operate under federal trust status and are not subject to HPD's standard enforcement jurisdiction. Violation data from HPD does not reflect conditions in NYCHA buildings.

Among the non-NYCHA buildings reviewed:

  • Jackson Park received a grade of B+ with 1 open Class C violation out of 19 total HPD violations on record.
  • LeFrak City (98-17 57th Ave) received B+ with 0 open violations and 18 total on record.
  • Electchester received A− with 0 open violations and 11 total on record.
  • Ocean Bay received A− with 1 open Class B violation out of 24 total on record.

311 complaints

311 complaints are the primary public-records signal for NYCHA buildings, which are not subject to HPD enforcement.

  • Queensbridge Houses North: 2,166 total 311 calls, including 1,739 noise-related. This is consistent with the complex's scale — Queensbridge is the largest public housing development in the United States.
  • Ravenswood Houses: 859 total 311 calls, including 710 noise-related.
  • LeFrak City (98-17 57th Ave): 1,185 total 311 calls, including 194 noise-related.
  • Jackson Park: 1,026 total 311 calls, including 64 noise-related.
  • Ocean Bay: 283 total 311 calls, including 43 noise-related.
  • Electchester: 336 total 311 calls, including 16 noise-related.

Rent stabilization

Rent stabilization coverage varies significantly across the buildings reviewed.

Jackson Park, a market-rate rental complex in Long Island City, shows 671 of 671 units registered as rent-stabilized with DHCR — 100 percent of the building. The complex is marketed at market-rate rents in one of Queens' fastest-appreciating neighborhoods.

Ocean Bay shows 49 of 56 units in the reviewed building registered as rent-stabilized — 88 percent.

Electchester, a co-operative building in Flushing, shows 16 of 16 units with rent-stabilization registrations on file.

LeFrak City (98-17 57th Ave) shows 26 of 138 units registered — 19 percent.

NYCHA properties (Queensbridge, Ravenswood) do not carry DHCR rent-stabilization registrations. Their rents are governed by federal public housing rules, not the state rent stabilization system.

Evictions

Public eviction records through May 2026:

  • LeFrak City (98-17 57th Ave): 5 evictions
  • Ocean Bay: 3 evictions
  • Jackson Park: 1 eviction
  • Queensbridge, Ravenswood, Electchester: 0 evictions on record
