51-20 100th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The property at 51-20 100th Street in Corona is a two-story, four-unit building constructed in 1931, currently owned by Conrad Desouza. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular problems noted in 2018 including three separate incidents involving heat and hot water outages, and one instance of heavy water leakage, though inspections did not reveal any violations in the heat and hot water cases. More recently, multiple open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements have been documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024.

In February 2024, an Environmental Control Board violation was issued regarding severe structural damage to the wooden retaining wall in the rear and right-side yard, with a penalty of $2,500, though this was subsequently resolved. The building has undergone various safety inspections and maintenance checks, with a notable cluster of violations in July 2019 related to window guards and door self-closing mechanisms throughout the building and particularly in apartment 1F. Three separate 311 complaints regarding heat/hot water issues were filed between late 2018 and early 2019, and there were also concerns about both the building entrance and individual apartment doors' self-closing mechanisms that were ultimately resolved.

While there have been some rodent control inspections conducted between 2013 and 2014, the most recent inspection in March 2014 passed compliance. The Department of Buildings has processed several complaints in 2024, including one regarding illegal conversion and another about an inadequate fence, though access was denied for inspection in both cases. A permit for work with sequence number 02 was also issued in October 2018.
