105-09 Northern Boulevard, Queens, NY 11368

105-09 Northern Boulevard in East Elmhurst is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Gregorio Cuellar. The building has recently undergone significant safety-related inspections and received multiple violations during a comprehensive review in April 2024.

The most concerning items include deficiencies in fire safety equipment, with a defective iron ladder leading to the roof scuttle opening noted as a fire egress defect, and multiple safety system violations in the third-floor apartment (3B) including missing window guards, a defective carbon monoxide detector, and a non-functioning smoke detector. The building also requires various postings in common areas, including gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide device requirements, and housing information guide availability. Recent maintenance history shows attention to safety matters, with a window guard issue reported and resolved in April 2024 through 311 services, along with a food contamination complaint from 2020 that was subsequently addressed.

The property has maintained an active bedbug monitoring program, with the most recent report (April 2024) showing no infested units, though there were some reporting requirements violations noted in April 2024 related to the filing of annual bedbug reports. While many of the recent violations have been resolved or closed since their identification, one notable violation remains open - concerning the posting of heating system keyholder information in the first-story public hall. The building's most recent inspection also resulted in several "Class A" violations, which typically indicate more serious conditions requiring prompt attention, though many of these were certified as corrected by early May 2024.
