42-04 111th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 42-04 111th Street in Corona, built in 1931, has shown persistent maintenance issues throughout recent years, particularly evident in 2024-2025. The property has multiple open complaints as of June 2025, including significant plumbing problems affecting sinks, toilets, bathtubs/showers, and radiators, along with electrical issues involving inadequate lighting.

Recent HPD inspections in late 2024 addressed various complaints including heating issues and door problems, though these were found not to violate housing laws. The building's maintenance history reveals several recurring problems, particularly with plumbing systems, as evidenced by multiple 311 complaints in 2024 regarding basins, sinks, and bathing facilities. In addition to plumbing and heating concerns, the building has faced challenges with pest control, including a rodent infestation reported in August 2024.

The Department of Buildings records show a pattern of compliance issues, with multiple violations related to failure to file required inspection reports between 2018 and 2022, though most were dismissed upon review. A few safety concerns were documented in 2023, including blocked egress and exposed electrical wiring, with inspectors unable to gain access to verify conditions. While many previous violations have been resolved, the continued presence of open complaints regarding fundamental systems like plumbing and electricity suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, though recent HPD inspections have generally found conditions not to violate housing laws.
