53-17 104th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 53-17 104th Street in Corona, owned by Daniel Carpio and constructed in 1940, has experienced several significant maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Starting with the most pressing current concern, the building has been cited multiple times (2021-2024) for failing to file the required annual bedbug report as per HPD regulations, with violations still open as of 2024. The property has had ongoing safety and maintenance issues, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment, including an open violation from February 2021 regarding illegal double-cylinder locks, and previously documented problems with window guards and gas supply to kitchen fixtures that were eventually addressed.

The building's recent history also shows some potentially concerning patterns. In February 2021, an inspection revealed multiple violations in Apartment 2, including missing window guards (Class C violation) and gas supply issues (Class B violation). The property had three consecutive years of bedbug report violations from 2021-2024.

Moreover, in 2020, there were multiple complaints regarding construction work without proper permits, particularly relating to concrete work in the rear of the property, though these were resolved through compliance inspections. The building underwent an annual inspection in 2020, and permits were issued in September 2020 for unspecified work. An initial rodent inspection in May 2012 resulted in a failed inspection for "Other Reasons," though this was later resolved in October 2012 when the building passed compliance. While some violations have been addressed through proper certification, including bedbug report compliance certified in June 2021, the presence of multiple open violations as of 2024 indicates ongoing regulatory compliance challenges.
