57-52 Xenia Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, four-unit building at 57-52 Xenia Street in Corona, currently owned by Yana Copek, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2023, with the most recent being a heavy water leak complaint in May 2024 that resulted in HPD being unable to gain access for inspection. Between August 2023 and early 2024, the property faced multiple concerning conditions including pest infestations (roaches), water leaks (both slow and heavy), unsanitary conditions involving mold, and issues with fire escape safety; while some complaints resulted in violations being issued, others were closed without violations.

The building has an open Class B violation as of 2023 related to roach infestation in the second-floor apartment, and multiple other open violations regarding water leaks, pest control, ceiling repair, faucet issues, and missing carbon monoxide detectors in the first-floor apartment. Further complicating the building's status, there were complaints filed in 2023 regarding illegal conversion and certificate of occupancy issues, although inspections in early 2024 were unable to gain access for verification.

While the property previously passed a rodent inspection in 2012, the recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's pattern of complaints shows clustering of issues particularly in August 2023, when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding various building conditions. The repeated nature of water leak complaints, which have been documented in multiple complaints throughout 2023 and 2024, indicates this may be a persistent issue requiring attention.
