105-05 Otis Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 24-unit, 3-story condominium building at 105-05 Otis Avenue in Corona, built in 1989, has experienced a series of notable maintenance issues in recent months, particularly concerning heat and water systems. Most recently, in December 2024, multiple heat/hot water complaints were logged, with some being recognized as duplicates of a building-wide issue, and at least one inspection finding conditions that did not violate HPD housing laws. The building has multiple open housing maintenance code violations as of December 2024, including issues with self-closing doors, electrical outlets, and a defective intercom system.

Emergency maintenance requests between October and December 2024 included problems with radiators, doors, and multiple instances of heat/hot water complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has demonstrated consistent attention to pest management, with no recorded bedbug infestations in the past three reporting periods (2022-2025), and the most recent rodent inspections from 2012 showed periods of rat activity that resulted in failures of the building's compliance inspections. The building's most recent violations, documented during a December 2024 inspection, include issues with household items obstructing public hallways on multiple floors, an electrical outlet safety concern, and problems with various doors including a fire door and the building vestibule door.

Several complaints from late 2024 regarding doors/windows, plumbing (including toilet and radiator issues), and general building conditions required HPD inspections, some of which were unable to be completed due to access issues. While the building's maintenance history shows periodic heating system problems, particularly through late 2024, there have been no recorded bedbug infestations in recent years, indicating effective pest control measures. The property's violation status shows a mix of open violations and resolved issues, with the most recent inspection revealing several security and safety concerns related to doors and electrical systems that require attention.
