58-31 Penrod Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, four-unit residential building at 58-31 Penrod Street in Corona, constructed in 1990, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple instances of heat and hot water problems, with emergency complaints registered in December 2023 and a prior building-wide incident in December 2019 where inspectors could not gain access to verify conditions. The building is currently facing several open violations as of May 2024, primarily related to safety signage requirements, including missing notifications regarding smoke detectors, carbon monoxide detectors, and gas leak procedures in the first-story public hall.

These violations also include requirements for posting annual bedbug reports and maintaining a complete certificate of inspection visits. The property's maintenance history reveals ongoing challenges with sanitation and pest control. In 2022 alone, there were multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions, including issues with pests, sewage, and flooring, with several violations issued following inspections.

The building has undergone multiple rodent inspections between 2022 and 2023, showing varying results from rat activity to bait application, with a compliance pass in June 2023. Recent maintenance work in December 2023 resulted in several non-emergency repairs being addressed, including electrical outlet issues and multiple instances of missing signage. While the building has undergone various inspections and maintenance efforts, the persistence of heating system problems and the accumulation of safety-related violations suggest ongoing management challenges.
