100-06 40th Road, Queens, NY 11368

100-06 40th Road in Corona is a 19-unit, 4-story New Law tenement built in 1928, currently owned by Adelchi Caira. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with multiple complaints filed between 2023 and 2025, all of which were eventually resolved though many required HPD intervention to confirm restoration of services.

The most recent cluster of complaints in April 2025 indicates ongoing systemic problems, as these were emergency complaints filed on multiple consecutive days. In addition to these pressing concerns, the building underwent an HPD inspection in 2024 that revealed several violations, including a water leak over the ceiling at the 4th story public hall, an illegal key-operated lock, a gas range encumbrance, and issues with fire retardant material at the ceiling. Previous violations from 2019 indicated safety concerns, including missing carbon monoxide detector notices and gas leak procedure postings, though these were subsequently addressed and certified as corrected.

The building's maintenance history shows it has passed recent bedbug inspections (2022-2024) with no reported infestations, and rodent inspections in 2010 and 2015 generally showed compliance with health standards, despite a failure noted in 2010 for unspecified reasons. Other maintenance issues have been addressed over time, including lead paint remediation in 2019 and window guard installation in apartment 13. It's worth noting that the building's heat and hot water system appears to be a persistent challenge, with emergency complaints filed nearly every year since at least 2021, and particularly notable clusters of complaints in 2024 and 2025, suggesting this remains an ongoing maintenance concern despite multiple resolutions to individual incidents.
