1861 Madison Street, Queens, NY 11385
The 1861 Madison Street property is a 6-unit, 3-story building constructed in 1913, currently owned by Mary Mestres. The building has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, with complaints in both 2025 (entire building) and 2024 (apartment only) being reported and addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Multiple emergency service requests were made in 2024, including for plumbing issues in sinks, window frame concerns, and both pest and mold problems, though inspections found no violations in these cases.
Of particular concern is the building's failure to file required annual bedbug reports for three consecutive years (2021-2024), for which there is currently an open violation from 2024. Additionally, there are multiple active violations related to external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2023 that have not been resolved. The property has a documented history of rodent issues, with several inspections showing rat activity between 2023 and 2024, though the most recent inspection in September 2024 passed.
Previous violations from 2021 revealed multiple maintenance issues specifically in apartment 2R, including problems with water leaks, ceiling conditions, mold, and safety equipment such as carbon monoxide detectors. Between 2021-2024, the building has shown patterns of emergency maintenance requests, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, suggesting persistent infrastructure challenges. While some issues have been resolved through HPD interventions, including a 2021 carbon monoxide detector violation and various April 2024 inspections, the recurrence of similar problems and the presence of multiple open violations indicate ongoing maintenance concerns within the building.
