32-48 105th Street, Queens, NY 11369

The two-family house at 32-48 105th Street in East Elmhurst, owned by Mercedes Zuniga, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past year. The most recent incident involved a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building in November 2023, which was resolved within three days.

A cluster of maintenance problems emerged in July 2023, including violations related to electrical lighting issues, window panes, wall and ceiling plaster, and plumbing concerns with a basin/sink. While some of these July complaints resulted in issued violations, one water leak complaint regarding a damp spot was closed without violations being recorded. Earlier in 2023, specifically in June, there were complaints regarding flooring issues, wall plaster concerns, and a serious emergency involving mold and unsanitary conditions, all of which were documented and subsequently closed.

The building's maintenance history suggests a pattern of persistent issues requiring inspection and correction by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), with some problems being classified as emergencies. While many of these complaints have been addressed and closed, the frequency and variety of issues across different systems (including heating, plumbing, electrical, and structural) indicate ongoing maintenance challenges within the property. The most recent heat and hot water issue from November 2023 suggests that some systemic problems may still be present, though this particular incident was resolved relatively quickly.
