40-31 99th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, six-unit tenement at 40-31 99th Street in Corona, owned by Panagiotis Stamboulis, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, a cluster of complaints in July 2021 resulted in multiple violations, including unsanitary conditions with pests, issues with window frames, wall conditions, and an electrical outlet/switch problem. These violations, along with several housing maintenance code complaints, were ultimately addressed and closed between July and September 2021.

A concerning pattern emerged in 2021 when apartment 3F was found with multiple violations, including non-functioning smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, a compromised fire escape, and a rodent infestation, all of which represented significant safety concerns. While the building maintained a passing record on rodent inspections from 2010-2015, more recent monitoring indicates potential recurring issues. The property has shown some improvement in recent years, with bedbug reports from 2025 showing no current infestations, and the building's most recent bedbug filings from 2025-2024 indicating no infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

However, an open Department of Buildings violation from September 2024 regarding the failure to file the 2023 external low-pressure inspection remains active, suggesting some continuing maintenance oversight. The building has also received three consecutive Bedbug Report violations (2022, 2023, 2024) regarding the annual report filing requirement, though these are administrative in nature rather than indicating current infestation issues. While the most recent years show some improvements, the building's history indicates recurring maintenance challenges that have required multiple interventions.
