99-30 59th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 225-unit, 6-story building at 99-30 59th Avenue in Corona, owned by Michael Lago and constructed in 1962, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past two years, particularly in 2024. Between January and June 2024, the building faced various significant maintenance challenges, including multiple emergency service requests related to water leaks (heavy flow), plumbing issues, door/window problems, and electrical wiring concerns.

While several of these complaints were investigated without violations, the building currently has open violations as of June 2024, including issues with self-closing doors leading to the laundry room in the basement, and repair needs for plastered surfaces and ceiling leaks in Apartment 6C. The building has maintained a consistent record of not experiencing bedbug infestations, with all recent reports (2022-2025) showing zero infested or eradicated units. The property has faced historical compliance challenges, including three ECB violations in 2018 related to the failure to submit required Cycle 8B exterior wall examination reports, and multiple DOB violations regarding energy use benchmarking reports between 2018 and 2024.

Most of these previous violations have been resolved or dismissed, including recent violations regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements and gas leak procedures, which were certified as corrected in June 2024. Importantly, there has been ongoing rodent activity at the property, with multiple "Bait Applied" inspections occurring between 2024 and 2025, though this seems to be part of an active pest management program rather than a persistent infestation issue. The building has also demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, consistently showing zero confirmed cases across multiple reporting periods from 2020 through 2025.
