97-28 57th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

97-28 57th Avenue in Corona is a 232-unit, 16-story residential building constructed in 1962, currently owned by Panama Leasingcorp. The property has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues, particularly during early 2025, with multiple complaints filed through HPD between January and February. These complaints, some indicating building-wide problems, were generally resolved according to HPD's records, though the frequency of reports suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.

A significant cluster of violations was recorded in apartment 5K during late 2024, including issues with mold, pest infestations, and various maintenance concerns requiring attention. The building has also had documented pest control challenges, with bedbug reports showing multiple affected units between 2018 and 2024, though recent reports indicate reduced prevalence with 1 infested unit in 2024. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations related to building safety and maintenance. Historical records from 2021-2022 show attention to energy reporting requirements, with violations for failure to file benchmarking reports, though these were later dismissed upon proper submission.

During 2018-2021, there were multiple complaints regarding construction safety and sidewalk shed conditions, though inspections did not warrant any violations. The building's rodent control efforts have shown improvement, with most recent inspections (2023) passing compliance checks, following a period of bait application in 2013-2014 when multiple failures were recorded. Recent infrastructure maintenance issues have emerged, including door and window problems as of June 2025, along with water leak concerns. The building's management has generally addressed violations as per inspection requirements, though the volume and nature of complaints suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance.
