111-88 43rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 22-unit, 6-story building at 111-88 43rd Avenue in Corona, owned by Angel Zepeda, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2023. Most notably, there have been multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, including three instances of pest infestations between 2023 and 2024, with one confirmed violation issued in October 2024 for mouse infestation in apartment 3B. Other significant issues include a persistent mold problem reported in May 2025 (though HPD found no violations), a heat/hot water complaint in February 2024, and several security-related concerns including problems with the building's intercom system and front door functionality.

The building has historical elevator service issues, with complaints dating back to 2019 when there was an Oath violation served. Recent inspections in 2023-2025 found no violations, though there were multiple service requests. Apartment 3B has specifically documented maintenance needs, including electrical wiring issues, smoke detector problems, and pest control requirements.

The property has demonstrated compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2020-2021, showing no infested units during inspections. The building's exterior and common areas have also required attention, with violations noted for the entrance doors and intercom system in late 2023 that were subsequently addressed. While many complaints have been addressed and closed by HPD and DOB, a few notable issues remain unresolved as of the latest available data, particularly regarding the broken glass pane in a window in apartment 3B and some door-related concerns. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of service requests, with most being promptly inspected and addressed, though some violations had designated correction periods requiring follow-up compliance verification.
