50-18 101st Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 50-18 101st Street in Corona, owned by Joseph Malatesta and constructed in 2005, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in March 2024, there was a heat and hot water complaint that resulted in an emergency response, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

In late 2023, multiple interconnected issues were reported and subsequently closed by HPD, including problems with the intercom system, ceiling paint/plaster, pest infestations, electrical wiring, and a water leak creating damp spots. The building had significant heat and hot water issues documented in September 2021, affecting the entire building, along with plumbing emergencies. During a September 2021 inspection, three violations were recorded regarding safety notices, including missing carbon monoxide detector requirement notifications and heating system access information, though these were certified as resolved by December 2021.

More recent documentation shows consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with zero infestations recorded in annual filings between 2020-2024. Rodent inspections in 2012 and 2022 showed passing results, though there was a failure noted in July 2022 under "Other Reasons." A 2024 electrical wiring complaint was investigated but no violations were found. The building's maintenance history suggests recurring issues with heating systems, water infrastructure, and general building maintenance, though many historical violations and complaints have been resolved.
