75-05 113th Street, Queens, NY 11375

The 92-unit, 6-story building at 75-05 113th Street in Forest Hills, owned by Casimer Oblanski and completed in 1951, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most significant concentration of problems occurring in 2025. Multiple 311 complaints in April 2025 documented unsanitary conditions including mold, along with issues related to window frames, floors, and walls, some of which resulted in housing code violations. Historically, the building has faced challenges with water-related problems, including ongoing leaks and moisture issues, particularly affecting Apartment 5P.

This apartment has multiple open violations from July 2024 concerning water leaks, plaster damage, and painting requirements. The building's emergency response capabilities have also been questioned, with violations noted in 2024 regarding obstructed fire escapes due to improperly installed air conditioners on multiple floors. The property has a mixed maintenance history, with some improvements evident in pest management, as recent bedbug reports show no infestations from 2019 to the present.

Rodent inspections in 2025 showed passing results, although there was a failed initial inspection in March 2025. Other notable historical complaints include a 2021 investigation into illegal hotel rooms and several access denial incidents regarding permit inspections between 2018-2019. The building management has been cited for various maintenance violations through the Department of Buildings and Environmental Control Board, including an unpermitted electrical modification in 2019 and a 2021 exterior facade issue that required resolution. While many of these problems have been addressed through follow-up inspections, several violations remain open as of the latest records, particularly concerning water damage and interior surface maintenance in Apartment 5P.
