99-21 43rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

At 99-21 43rd Avenue in Corona, this 4-story, 9-unit New Law tenement building owned by Constantinos Serafis has experienced recurring plumbing and water-related issues over the past two years. The most recent incident, reported in January 2025, involved a heavy water leak, while previous complaints from 2024 and 2023 documented problems with basins/sinks, water leaks, and various plumbing issues, with violations being issued in some cases. The building's 5th floor apartment appears to have faced multiple challenges in 2023, including water leaks affecting the bathroom ceiling, plumbing issues, and paint/plaster concerns, leading to several Housing Maintenance Code violations requiring repairs to window guards, firescape windows, flooring, and both kitchen and hallway walls.

Additional health and safety concerns emerged in 2023 regarding indoor air quality and ventilation. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with no reported cases between 2019 and 2024. Rodent inspections reveal mixed results, with two failures in 2013 and a successful inspection in 2015.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple complaints being filed and some resulting in HPD violations. While many of these issues have been addressed, the recurring nature of the plumbing problems suggests ongoing challenges in this area. The most recent water leak complaint in 2025 indicates that maintenance issues have persisted into the present year.
