105-03 Otis Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

105-03 Otis Avenue is a 3-story, 5-unit residential building in Corona, built in 1989 and currently owned by Jose Deeon. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with three emergency complaints in the past two years (2025 and 2024), including one involving the entire building and another limited to an apartment. These recent incidents follow a pattern established in 2022, when multiple similar complaints were filed.

The building has also faced maintenance challenges, including water leak problems in 2022 (with both slow and heavy flow leaks reported), and various inspection-related issues such as window repairs and paint/plaster concerns. Most recently, in December 2024, multiple violations were issued related to fire safety and building maintenance requirements, including missing smoke detector notices, gas leak procedure postings, and carbon monoxide detector requirements. These open violations, classified as A or C level, indicate they are of varying severity, with some requiring immediate attention.

The building's history shows a consistent pattern of maintenance issues, particularly regarding heat/hot water systems, with tenants frequently reporting problems that required HPD intervention. While the property passed rodent inspections in 2012 and 2013, the more recent violation history suggests ongoing building maintenance challenges should be addressed. In April 2022, specific violations were noted regarding water leaks and mold conditions in apartment 1F, indicating past moisture-related issues in the building.
