111-03 Roosevelt Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The two-family house at 111-03 Roosevelt Avenue in Jackson Heights, built in 1930 and currently owned by Ruben Molina, has experienced several notable maintenance and safety issues, particularly during the latter half of 2018. The building faced recurring problems with heat and hot water during October-December 2018, with multiple housing maintenance code complaints filed as emergencies. These issues resulted in violations, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment's heating and hot water systems.

The building also experienced significant electrical problems during this period, with multiple complaints regarding wiring, faulty outlets, and inadequate lighting, some of which received violations. Other issues documented in 2018-2019 included plumbing problems, with at least one complaint classified as an immediate emergency regarding water supply. More recently, in late 2024, there was a food safety inspection conducted by the NYC Health Department, though no significant violations were noted in the resolution.

The building is currently active with several open violations from late 2018, including issues with electrical systems, heat provision, and safety equipment. Of particular concern is a December 2018 violation regarding inadequate heat and hot water supply in the second bedroom, and a October 2018 violation concerning a defective electrical outlet in the second-floor apartment. The property also experienced some construction regulation issues in August 2019, resulting in a full stop work order, though this appears to have been addressed with the issuance of a new permit shortly thereafter. Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past five years, with the last report from 2021 indicating zero affected units and successful eradication efforts.
