34-59 111th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-unit building at 34-59 111th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Blandina Cazares Mejia, has experienced significant maintenance and safety issues, particularly in the past year. Most notably, there have been recurring problems with heat and hot water, with two emergency complaints in December 2023, though inspectors were unable to confirm the issues during their visits.

Other concerning incidents reported between December 2-5, 2023, included unsanitary conditions related to mold and pests, as well as multiple safety concerns regarding window guards, smoke detectors, and carbon monoxide detectors. While inspections were conducted for these complaints, no violations were issued. The building has had persistent issues with bedbug reporting requirements, with open Class A violations recorded in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024, all concerning the failure to file the annual bedbug report as required by Housing Maintenance Code.

The building's recent history also shows some infrastructure concerns, with a complaint about electrical wiring (defective/exposed) logged in February 2025, though inspection attempts were unsuccessful. The property's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and safety compliance, though many recent HPD inspections have not resulted in violations being cited. The building, constructed in 1940, is officially classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" structure, and while it has addressed some complaints through inspections, the frequency and nature of recent issues indicate potential systemic maintenance challenges.
