101-08 32nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11369

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 101-08 32nd Avenue in East Elmhurst, owned by Ernesto Morales, has experienced several noteworthy issues in recent years, particularly during the winter of 2023. In January 2023, multiple heat and hot water complaints were filed regarding the entire building, which were ultimately classified as duplicates but indicated a significant building-wide comfort issue.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) faced challenges gaining access to inspect the affected units during this period. More recently, as of April 2024, there is an open violation related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which is concerning given that similar violations were noted in March 2023 and April 2021.

The building's maintenance history includes a series of rodent inspections between 2011 and 2015, with poor initial compliance in 2011 and 2015, though a passing result was achieved in July 2015. While the building's bedbug report for the 2020-2021 period showed no infestations, the outstanding violation regarding report filing requirements suggests potential oversight in pest management documentation. The property's age (built in 1920) and the classification as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" indicate it has undergone some form of conversion from its original purpose, typical of many older New York City buildings.
