55-15 99th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 138-unit, 6-story residential building at 55-15 99th Street in Corona, owned by Scott Silverman, has experienced numerous maintenance issues between 2022 and 2025, with the most concerning being multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building in late 2024 and early 2025, classified as emergency complaints. Recent inspections in June 2025 revealed unsanitary conditions including pests, mold, and water leaks, though these did not result in housing law violations according to HPD.

The building has a documented history of pest problems, with violations issued in late 2024 for infestations in apartment 1G, and recurring complaints about water leaks affecting multiple units, particularly in apartments 1F and 6L. Other notable violations include inadequate supply of hot and cold water in apartment 1F (2024), non-compliant window guards in apartment 5F (2024), and various maintenance issues related to floor tiles in apartment 1G (2024). The property has been subject to several investigations regarding potential illegal hotel activity between 2022 and 2024, with multiple complaints filed though most were dismissed or found no violations upon inspection.

Building security and safety features have come under scrutiny, with violations noted for self-closing doors and elevator service in previous years, though recent bedbug reports show no infestations have occurred in the past five years. Recent external issues were highlighted in an August 2024 ECB violation regarding debris and garbage maintenance, for which a penalty was imposed. The building's environmental history shows a pattern of rodent-related inspections between 2009 and 2023, with the most recent inspections in 2023 failing for unspecified reasons, though earlier inspections showed improvement with "passed" results in 2012.
