62-95 Saunders Street, Queens, NY 11374

62-95 Saunders Street is a 6-story, 100-unit Class A residential building constructed in 1941 and currently owned by Shimmie Horn. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly noted during the winter months, with multiple complaints in late 2024 and early 2025 affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. Recent maintenance concerns have emerged as of May 2025, including emergency complaints about mold, door issues, and plumbing problems.

Previous violations from late 2024 included multiple housing maintenance code violations, particularly in the 5J apartment regarding carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and a roach infestation. The building's infrastructure shows ongoing challenges, particularly with elevator service, as evidenced by multiple complaints between 2020-2023 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service. November 2024 inspections revealed several maintenance issues in public areas, including problems with self-closing doors in compactor closets and roof access points.

Prior violations from 2020-2021 included exterior facade maintenance issues and accessibility problems with motor rooms. Historically, the building has maintained a record of bedbug-free status since 2019, with only one isolated infestation documented in 2018. Recent rodent inspections in 2023 and 2011 show passing results, indicating effective pest management in this regard. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic attention to basic infrastructure systems, though recent heating and plumbing issues indicate potential ongoing challenges with building systems and prompt response to tenant concerns.
