57-31 108th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, five-unit building at 57-31 108th Street in Corona, owned by Dev Construction Corporation and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. The most pressing recent concerns involve recurring heating problems, with multiple heat/hot water complaints filed in late 2024, including two emergency complaints in November 2024 that led to violations being issued. The building has also faced safety and maintenance challenges, including violations related to the entrance door in apartment 3F, inadequate heating in a specific room, and a locked boiler room door issue, all documented in a November 2024 inspection.

Despite these problems, there have been no reported bedbug infestations since at least 2021, and the building has maintained a record of zero occupied units requiring bedbug treatment in its most recent filings. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violations, including concerns about self-closing doors, radiator issues, and the need for proper lighting in public areas. A pattern of heating system problems is evident, with complaints in both 2024 and 2022.

More recent inspections from January 2025 and September 2024 have documented rat activity on the premises, marking a concerning trend in pest management. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency issues being reported and addressed, with several violations remaining open as of the most recent inspection dates. While the building has made attempts to address various safety and maintenance concerns, including the installation of smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, the recurring nature of heating system failures and pest control challenges suggests ongoing facility management issues.
