97-20 43rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 97-20 43rd Avenue in Corona, owned by Gladys Patino and constructed in 2007, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues over the years. Most recently, from 2021 through 2024, the building faced recurring violations related to the mandatory annual bedbug reporting requirement, though these violations have all been marked as closed.

The first-floor apartment experienced significant safety concerns in April 2018, including three violations that are particularly concerning: scalding hot water exceeding 150°F (well above the 130°F maximum allowed), and defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. While the water temperature violation was resolved within days, as evidenced by a certification on April 25, 2018, the detector violations remain as open issues on record. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations throughout its history, with official reports from 2021 through 2025 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units.

Both 2010 and 2015 rodent inspections of the property passed without issues. More recently, the most recent bedbug report (April 2025) covered the period from November 2023 to October 2024, confirming the building has remained free of these pests. The consistent documentation of bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, despite the initial violations, suggests improved attention to this requirement by management.
