111-60 42nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The three-story, five-unit building at 111-60 42nd Avenue in Corona, currently owned by Jaime Riera and constructed in 1988, has experienced several notable issues in recent years, though many have been resolved through proper channels. Most recently, in mid-2025, there were rodent sightings (both rats and mice) reported, though inspections by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) did not reveal any violations, and the building passed subsequent inspections in July 2025. Earlier in 2025, there were two emergency complaints about heat and hot water issues, but inspectors from the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to the apartments for verification.

The building has maintained a consistent record of passing rodent inspections, with several inspections between 2023 and 2025 showing no violations. The property has a history of pest-related complaints, with multiple reports between 2022 and 2023, though inspections generally found no violations. Notably, there was one emergency electrical issue (no lighting) reported in June 2019 that was resolved within two weeks.

The building's bedbug reporting history shows consistent compliance, with all annual filings (from 2021 to 2025) reporting zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units. A complaint regarding an illegal conversion submitted in 2022 was inspected in 2023 but was determined to warrant no violations at that time. While the building has faced various maintenance challenges over the years, recent inspections suggest that most issues are being properly addressed through appropriate channels, with no major ongoing violations currently on record.
