54-04 102nd Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-unit residential building at 54-04 102nd Street in Corona, owned by Erjodacy Dev LLC, has experienced persistent heating and hot water system issues since early 2024. Most recently, in January 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints about lack of heat and hot water, which were initially reported as duplicate complaints of a building-wide problem. These followed a documented pattern of heating system failures throughout 2024, including an entire building outage in January 2024, four apartment-specific complaints in February 2024, and various other related issues.

In January 2024, the building experienced additional concerns including plumbing/water supply problems, ceiling paint/plaster issues, and unsanitary conditions related to pests, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect these conditions at that time. Of particular concern is an active Environmental Control Board violation as of January 2024, documenting safety issues with the building's boiler and water heater systems. The violation states that both the water heater and boiler were not operating properly, with one unit leaking water and the other with an inactive gas valve, resulting in a significant $3,125 penalty.

As of August 2024, multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations were recorded regarding safety and maintenance requirements, including missing or defective self-closing doors, improper posting of safety notices, and concerns about the building's wet sprinkler and standpipe system water supply. These violations encompass various requirements for smoke detector and carbon monoxide detector notifications, gas leak procedures, and building registration information, suggesting ongoing regulatory compliance issues. While the building has been in operation since 2008, these recent violations and service requests indicate persistent maintenance challenges that have required multiple emergency interventions over an extended period.
