57-18 Granger Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-unit, three-story building at 57-18 Granger Street in Corona, owned by Hipolito Carpio, has undergone several significant issues affecting tenant comfort and safety since its 1965 construction. Most notably, between July 2018 and 2024, there were consistent pest management and bedbug reporting compliance challenges, with multiple HPD violations issued for unsanitary conditions related to pests in July 2018, and four consecutive annual bedbug report violations documented from 2021 to 2024.

In 2018, the building experienced heating issues, classified as an emergency situation, though this was resolved within a week. The building has also faced some compliance issues with safety postings, including smoke detector requirements, carbon monoxide detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and the necessity of maintaining a proper housing information guide notice, all of which were ultimately resolved by January 2019. The property experienced some property maintenance challenges in 2018, including wall paint/plaster issues that were inspected but did not result in violations.

There were several complaints made in January 2019 regarding illegal conversion, after-hours work, and permit issues, though inspections were unable to validate these concerns at the time. A significant portion of the building's maintenance history shows attention to regulatory compliance, with an initial rodent inspection in 2012 showing passing results. Most recently, the bedbug reports for 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 indicate no infestations or eradications, suggesting improvements in pest management procedures, though these reports had previously been a recurring issue requiring regular attention to compliance matters.
