108-02 Northern Boulevard, Queens, NY 11368

This three-story, four-unit residential building at 108-02 Northern Boulevard in Jackson Heights, owned by Daniel Azcona and constructed in 1930, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years. Most notably, there has been a persistent problem with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between November 2023 and January 2024, some of which resulted in inspections where access was not granted.

The building has also faced significant plumbing concerns, including an unresolved water supply issue as recent as December 2024, where HPD was unable to complete an inspection. The property has documented ongoing rodent problems, with multiple inspections between 2024 and 2025 showing rat activity, though some inspections resulted in bait application. In terms of specific unit conditions, Apartment 2L has been the focus of multiple violations identified in September 2024, including issues with water leaks affecting ceilings in both the kitchen and living areas, various problems with plaster surfaces, and concerns regarding missing carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, though many of these violations were subsequently certified as corrected between October and December 2024.

The building's systems have experienced documented electrical issues, including a power outage in January 2024 that required HPD intervention for verification of repairs. Adding to the building's challenges, there is currently an active ECB violation from September 2024 regarding the removal of fire stopping in a commercial space, with a penalty of $2530 imposed, though it appears this may not directly affect residential units. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs since 2021, with no reported infestations during the required reporting period.
