57-62 Van Doren Street, Queens, NY 11368

The two-story, 14-unit building at 57-62 Van Doren Street in Corona, owned by Ephraim Pizante and constructed in 1972, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, in May 2022, there was a cluster of emergency complaints regarding heat/hot water issues, electric power outages, and mold problems, though many of these inspections were hindered by lack of access to apartments.

The building received multiple violations in 2022 related to safety and sanitation, including deficiencies in garbage disposal receptacles, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and carbon monoxide detector requirements - though these were certified as corrected by June 2022. A 2019 incident involving plumbing and heat/hot water issues also required emergency attention. Recent inspections indicate improved conditions, with the building's bedbug report for 2025 showing no infestations in the previous three periods (2022-2025) and no current violations on record as of March 2023.

However, historical records show some concerns, including failed rodent inspections in 2012 and multiple HPD complaints over the years regarding various maintenance issues. The building's 311 service request history reveals a pattern of accessibility issues during inspections, particularly for heat and hot water complaints, suggesting difficulties in verifying and resolving building-wide maintenance problems. While recent bedbug reports and violation records show no current issues, the building's history demonstrates periodic challenges with basic services and maintenance compliance.
