31-59 103rd Street, Queens, NY 11369

The two-family house at 31-59 103rd Street in East Elmhurst, built in 1920, has experienced significant maintenance challenges, particularly in 2018 when numerous issues were documented in the second-floor apartment. Between August and September 2018, a cluster of maintenance complaints were filed, including emergency situations involving ceiling damage, plumbing problems with the toilet, and window frame issues, alongside multiple non-emergency complaints about pest infestations, flooring problems, and general cabinet conditions. These concerns led to a comprehensive inspection on September 24, 2018, which revealed several violations requiring attention under the Housing Maintenance Code.

The inspection documented specific issues with the second-floor apartment, including defective wood floors in multiple rooms, a malfunctioning bathroom flush system, roach and mouse infestations, damaged plaster surfaces and paint in the kitchen, defective kitchen cabinets, and a problematic kitchen window. Notably, there was also a mold issue identified in the bathroom ceiling. While these violations were subsequently marked as closed, with one being certified in December 2018, they indicate a period of substantial maintenance challenges that affected resident comfort.

Despite these past issues, more recent records show the building passed an initial rodent inspection in July 2018, suggesting some improvements in pest management since the documented infestations. The property is currently managed by 117-17 204 Street Corp and consists of two stories with a total of two units. While the building's documented history shows a cluster of maintenance issues in 2018, there are no recent complaints or violations on record, suggesting that the property has not experienced similar problems in recent years through October 2023.
