Is 81-38 Baxter Avenue, Queens getting better or worse?
Open violations are sitting, with little movement either way. 2 open Class C, with nothing filed or new in the last 180 days. 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 81-38 Baxter Avenue, Queens?
Since September 29, 2023, certifications were filed on 2 Class C violations, all 2 after the original certify-by date. 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.
Does 81-38 Baxter Avenue, Queens have active DOB violations?
Yes. 1 active DOB violation, issued January 3, 2008. The Department of Buildings writes these separately from HPD's housing violations, for things like boilers, elevators, facades, construction and energy filings. Each one stays active until DOB resolves or dismisses it.
Are any HPD emergency repair orders at 81-38 Baxter Avenue, Queens marked completed?
Yes. 1 completed HPD emergency repair order since September 29, 2023: a general construction order, opened April 23, 2025, awarded for $710. 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.
