52-12 108th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, four-unit building at 52-12 108th Street in Corona, owned by Sam Cosentino, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues in recent years, with the most significant problems occurring in the past year. Most notably, in October 2024, there was a documented problem with broken or missing window guards in apartment 3F, resulting in multiple housing maintenance code violations. These violations were later certified as corrected by December 2024.

Other notable issues in 2024 included problems with self-closing doors at building entrances, items obstructing fire escape egress, and a reported roach infestation in apartment 3F. Additional safety concerns were raised in October 2024 regarding a broken window guard, leading to HPD inspections and violations. The building's maintenance history shows recurring compliance challenges, including two consecutive years (2022-2023 and 2023-2024) where the annual bedbug report filing was cited as a violation, though subsequent filings indicate no infestations occurred during those periods.

The property has also faced issues with unauthorized signage, as evidenced by ECB violations in late 2023 regarding an illegal neon business sign, resulting in a $1,250 penalty. Recent concerns about illegal conversions and work without permits have been raised in early 2025, with one complaint still showing as active. Despite these issues, the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug and rodent infestations, with all previous inspection reports showing compliance since 2018.
