5410 102nd Street, Queens, NY 11368

5410 102nd Street in Corona is a three-story, three-unit residential building constructed in 2008, currently owned by Parviz Yousefzadeh. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat and safety systems, with multiple complaints about heat and hot water problems in late 2023 and early 2024. Recent inspections revealed violations related to carbon monoxide detector requirements and unsafe hot water temperatures exceeding 130 degrees in Apartment 1.

The property has also faced safety and compliance challenges, including an open violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report and multiple violations related to safety signage requirements. Most concerning is the recent discovery of unauthorized modifications to the building, with active violations issued in April 2024 for unpermitted construction work in the cellar, where full-height partitions, doors, and plumbing for a residential sink and bathroom were reportedly installed. These modifications appear to have created an unauthorized apartment contrary to the building's Certificate of Occupancy as a 3-family dwelling.

The building's maintenance history shows persistent issues with pests, water leaks, and safety systems, including multiple emergency and non-emergency complaints. While some violations have been closed, several important safety compliance issues remain open, including those related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and emergency escape routes. The property has undergone multiple inspections for rodent control between 2012 and 2013, with some failures recorded during this period.
