107-24 Corona Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 11-unit, 3-story building at 107-24 Corona Avenue in Corona, built in 1931 and currently owned by 107-24 Corona Ave Realty LLC, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years. Most notably, there has been a recurring history of pest problems, including reports of mold, insects, and rodent activity. The most recent complaint, filed in August 2023, involved insect/rodent issues that were closed in June 2024.

Between 2018 and 2020, multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, were documented, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene often resulted in no violations being found or the inability to gain access for inspection. The building has also faced several significant violations and outstanding maintenance issues. As of the last inspection in 2019, there were multiple open violations in apartment 1R regarding mold, pest control, and safety equipment, including smoke and carbon monoxide detector issues.

In 2018, violations were issued for various building maintenance requirements including window repairs, wall painting, and building code compliance issues such as proper signage and removal of encumbrances in public areas. More recently, there is an active violation from February 2018 related to an unpermitted illuminated awning installation with a penalty of $625. However, the building has maintained an active status of zero bedbug infestations according to all bedbug reports filed from 2019 through 2024, and recent rodent inspections from 2021 and 2022 have shown compliance passes, though there was one failed inspection in 2021 indicating rodent activity.
