57-70A Xenia Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, three-unit building at 57-70A Xenia Street in Corona, owned by Shyamal Paul and constructed in 1987, has experienced several notable maintenance issues, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in August-October 2022. During this period, multiple emergency complaints were filed and addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including violations related to plumbing (toilet and sink issues), ceiling damage, and mold, though not all inspections resulted in violations.

A series of inspections in early 2023 revealed several building code violations, including problems with self-closing doors at the front entrance and basement, window security issues, and carbon monoxide detector problems in one apartment. The building's most recent bedbug report, filed in July 2025, indicates no current infestations or eradication efforts, suggesting improved pest management.

Rodent inspections show mixed results, with rat activity detected in May 2022, though a subsequent July 2022 inspection passed compliance. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, recent inspections and reports indicate some resolution of these issues, though an open violation from January 2023 regarding self-closing doors remains noteworthy. The property has consistently addressed housing maintenance code violations as they arise, with the majority being closed promptly upon correction.
