105-26 Otis Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The four-unit, two-story building at 105-26 Otis Avenue in Corona, owned by Pengyan Lin and built in 1920, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. The most pressing concerns occurred in April 2022, when multiple violations were issued for unsanitary conditions including mold and pest infestations, as well as smoke detector compliance issues. Notably, Apartment 2F has documented violations including problems with roaches, mice, mold, various damaged structural elements, and missing smoke detector equipment, though many of these violations appear to be related to the same overall set of issues identified during the April 2022 inspection.

The building has also experienced recurring heat and hot water issues, with complaints recorded in January and November 2021, and in March 2022. While some heat-related complaints were addressed and closed, others indicate access issues during inspections. More recently, the building underwent rodent inspections in 2023, passing one and initially failing another earlier in the year.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2024, showing no recorded infestations during the 2023-2025 reporting periods. Additionally, there was a complaint in 2023 regarding work without a permit in a nearby property (11368 Otis Avenue), though this was investigated and found to have no violations at the time of inspection. The building's most recent violations, as of 2022, relate to the need for various repairs and maintenance in Apartment 2F, including issues with doors, carbon monoxide detectors, floor conditions, and paint surfaces, though many of these violations remain open as of the latest inspection data available.
