66-25 103rd Street, Queens, NY 11375

The six-story, 148-unit building at 66-25 103rd Street in Forest Hills, owned by Prescott Lester, has experienced several significant maintenance issues throughout 2024-2025, with particular emphasis on heating and water systems. Most notably, there was a pattern of heat and hot water complaints in 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between April and May, though these were generally resolved quickly, often with occupants confirming restoration of services during HPD inspections. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges, including unsanitary conditions (mold) in April 2025, and multiple appliance issues involving electric/gas ranges. Four separate complaints about doors, flooring, and multiple appliance problems in April 2025 were marked as "unable to inspect" by HPD.

The building's history reveals ongoing concerns with its infrastructure, particularly regarding the elevator system and water supply. A 2024 violation indicates a failure to submit a required parking structure report resulting in a $2,500 penalty. The building has shown a recurring pattern of bedbug incidents, with six units affected in the most recent reporting period (2023-2024), though all were eradicated. Previous years also recorded similar incidents, with one unit each in 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 showing infestations, all of which were treated successfully.

The Department of Buildings records from 2024 show various violations related to public hall maintenance on the 6th floor, including water leaks, defective fire retardant materials, and painting requirements, though some have since been closed or dismissed. An inspection from late 2024 flagged 6M for water leak repairs and multiple other maintenance issues, all currently listed as "Open." The elevator system has been a persistent concern, with multiple complaints about service issues recorded between 2020-2024, though inspections typically found no violations warranting penalties. The building also experienced plumbing issues in early 2025, contributing to the pattern of emergency complaints, and has had various property maintenance violations requiring repairs to walls, ceilings, and other structural elements. While some issues have been resolved, including several heating and maintenance violations, others remain pending as of the latest available data.
