Yes. 43-49 42 Street, Queens had 6 open violations on September 27, 2026: 6 from HPD. 3 are Class C, the class HPD treats as immediately hazardous. The oldest open HPD violation has been open 10 years, since June 14, 2016.
Is 43-49 42 Street, Queens getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 3 open Class C, with 1 certification filed and 0 new Class C in the last 180 days, too few to call a direction. That window ends September 27, 2026. It compares certifications filed with new Class C violations, and it describes what happened, not what anyone intends.
When were certifications filed on Class C violations at 43-49 42 Street, Queens?
Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 4 Class C violations: 3 by the original certify-by date, 1 after it. A certification is the filing, dated when it was made, not HPD's acceptance of it. It is compared with the original certify-by date on the notice. A granted postponement moves that date and the city's data keeps only the first, so a certification counted after it may still have met a postponed date.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 43-49 42 Street, Queens marked completed?
Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened December 7, 2025, awarded for $1,380. HPD orders an emergency repair when a hazardous condition cited in a violation, or in another agency's emergency order, is not corrected, and does the work itself or through a contractor. The amounts are what the orders were awarded for, not a bill: this page does not show what was charged to the property or whether it was paid. Orders for lab tests, such as dust-wipe and asbestos samples, are not counted.
Are any DOB work permits in effect at 43-49 42 Street, Queens?
Yes. 1 DOB work permit in effect, for Mechanical Systems work, issued March 13, 2026. A permit in effect allows the work it names. It does not mean the work has started or finished, or that it fixes any violation on this page.
When was the boiler at 43-49 42 Street, Queens last inspected?

Where do these numbers come from?

This page is current through September 27, 2026. The city's data changes daily, so a violation certified after that can still show as open here; the city's own page for this building is linked above.
