99-29 42nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building at 99-29 42nd Avenue in Corona, owned by Manuel Benites, has experienced several significant events in recent years. Most recently, in March 2025, there were complaints about both a power outage and lack of heat/hot water in the entire building, though HPD's inspections found no violations in the electrical case, and they were unable to gain access to investigate the heat/hot water issue.

The building's violation history shows an open Class A violation from April 2024 regarding the failure to file the required annual bedbug report, with similar violations documented in March 2023 and earlier in 2022 and 2021, though these previous violations were closed. On a positive note, the building has demonstrated compliance with rodent control measures, passing inspections in 2023, 2015, and 2010, with a rat sighting complaint in May 2023 resulting in no violations being found by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

The building's bedbug reporting record shows no infestations or eradications during the 2020-2021 reporting period, and while there have been multiple bedbug report violations cited in the last four years (2021-2024), these appear to be administrative in nature rather than indicative of an active infestation. The property has experienced periodic infrastructure issues, as evidenced by the recent heat/hot water and power outage complaints, though HPD's investigations have generally not found violations of housing laws. The building was constructed in 1931 and has maintained its original three-story configuration as per the current records.
