104-07 Otis Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 12-unit, 4-story residential building at 104-07 Otis Avenue in Corona, owned by Otis Plaza Corp and constructed in 2008, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in April 2025, there were complaints about cooking gas and heat/hot water problems, with HPD issuing violations for the latter. The building has struggled with multiple service requests for cooking gas problems, and both heating issues and pest infestations in 2024-2025, including confirmed violations for roach and mice infestations in Apartment 4A in August 2024.

Additional concerns have included water leaks, intercom system failures, and various building maintenance issues. The property has two open violations as of December 2024 related to self-closing door and hinge problems at the compactor closets on the 1st and 4th stories. Earlier concerns about mold in Apartment 2A (2023) and defective vanity cabinets in Apartment 4A (2024) were documented, along with a bedbug infestation in 2019 that was resolved.

The building has had several inspections by HPD that resulted in violations, particularly in 2024, though Department of Buildings inspections in 2023-2025 for gas and boiler issues found no violations at the time of inspection. The building's elevator compliance status is marked with an active violation for failure to file a 2017 inspection/test. Notably, recent bedbug reports from 2022-2025 show no documented infestations, though the building experienced pest issues in 2024. While the building has maintained a generally compliant status in terms of bedbug management since 2019, the recurring nature of heating, gas, and pest-related complaints, along with multiple open violations, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
