82-59 233rd Street, Queens, NY 11427

This three-story, two-family house located at 82-59 233rd Street in Bellerose, owned by Jose Medina, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2018. The most concerning pattern emerged in late 2018, when numerous documented problems were recorded in Apartment 3 on the third floor, primarily related to mold infestations affecting multiple areas including window frames, walls, and ceilings in the kitchen, bathroom, and various rooms.

These violations were classified under the Housing Maintenance Code as unsanitary conditions and were formally addressed through inspections on December 28, 2018, and subsequent working orders. In addition to the mold-related issues, the building has faced several other violations that raise safety concerns. In early 2019, inspections revealed problems with the carbon monoxide detection system in Apartment 3, while building-wide safety concerns were documented through violations related to scuttle access.

These included issues with a loose scuttle ladder, illegal fastening mechanisms, and the presence of household items blocking access in the public hall areas of the second and third stories. Fortunately, all these violations were officially closed after necessary repairs and corrections were made, with certification dates showing compliance by April 2, 2019, and February 14, 2019. Since these violations were addressed and closed in 2019, there have been no recorded complaints or violations in the available building data through October 2023, suggesting that the property has maintained compliance with housing regulations since then.
