40-41 99th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 40-41 99th Street in Corona, owned by Castulo Paulino and constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues in recent years. Most concerning are three emergency heat and hot water complaints in February 2025, though inspections were either unable to gain access or confirmed restoration of service during the complaint investigation.

The building has ongoing safety concerns, with open violations from late 2023 in apartment 1R regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, as well as a self-closing door issue, and an April 2024 violation regarding the annual bedbug report filing requirement. The property has a history of maintenance issues, with multiple emergencies reported in January 2025 including concerns about plumbing, windows, and various surface conditions, though many inspections were unable to be completed. The building has faced numerous Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints and violations in 2024, suggesting possible unauthorized modifications or unsafe conditions, though most inspections resulted in access being denied.

Recent bedbug reports indicate that all 6 units were infested and subsequently treated, with records showing eradication efforts. While there have been rodent inspections in 2010 and 2015 with mixed results, the most recent building-wide inspection issues in 2025 primarily involve heat and hot water service. The property has also faced administrative violations regarding expired permits in 2024, though these were resolved without penalties.
