93-16 Corona Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 93-16 Corona Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Juan Espinal, has experienced several notable events and maintenance issues in recent years. Most concerning is the building's current active Department of Buildings violation for failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2021 and 2022, though a 2023 violation for the same issue was recently dismissed in March 2025.

The property has also faced some significant safety concerns, including a 2022 emergency heat and hot water complaint and a smoke detector safety issue, both of which were closed when inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for verification. The building's bedbug reporting shows a positive trajectory, with zero infested units reported in the most recent 2023 filing covering the 2021-2022 period, though there were four previously infested units that had been eradicated.

More recent health department involvement occurred in 2024 with a food poisoning complaint that was referred to New York State Agriculture and Markets, and there have been multiple years of HPD violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, though these have been closed in previous years. The building's rodent inspection in 2015 resulted in a passing grade, and while this indicates attention to pest control, it's worth noting that the bedbug reporting requirements have not always been consistently met, as evidenced by multiple violations in recent years. The combination of active DOB violations for inspection reporting, historical HPD violations, and the missed access during emergency complaint investigations suggests potential concerns with maintenance access and regulatory compliance, though the building has shown progress in recent bedbug management and other health-related issues.
