160-01 16th Avenue, Queens, NY 11357

The property at 160-01 16th Avenue, located in Whitestone, is a 2-story, 132-unit building constructed in 1951 and currently owned by James Marsanico. The building has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2022, when multiple complaints were filed in September relating to water leaks, ceiling problems, and unsanitary mold conditions.

The Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) department conducted inspections but was unable to access some units, though no violations were issued for the conditions that were inspected. That same year, the building received two Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violations related to the boiler room: one in July for failing to display required heating system signs and another in May for safety issues including a missing bolt on the rear door and exposed wires, though both violations were ultimately resolved with no penalties due.

More recent concerns include a bee/wasp infestation reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene in September 2023, which remains unresolved as of the current date. While there was a rodent inspection conducted in November 2009 that the building passed, it's worth noting that there have been no recorded rodent inspections in the past 14 years. The building's maintenance history suggests periodic challenges with water-related issues and building systems, though many reported problems have been addressed through the regular complaint resolution process.
