88-42 240th Street, Queens, NY 11426

This two-family house at 88-42 240th Street in Bellerose, owned by Jeanne Paniccia, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in early 2025. The property, which was built in 1920, has documented five housing complaints between January and February 2025, all of which have since been closed as of May 2025.

The complaints include both emergency and non-emergency issues: two separate door-related problems (one classified as an emergency), a plumbing radiator concern (also marked as emergency), and problems with walls involving paint/plaster deterioration. Notably, there was also a water leak complaint regarding a slow leak. The most significant pattern that emerges from these complaints is the inability of HPD inspectors to gain access to the property during their inspection attempts.

In each case, inspectors left cards and sent letters to encourage scheduling proper inspections, but the lack of timely responses from the property representatives led to the closure of these complaints. While the complaints were officially closed, it is important to note that the closure was not necessarily due to resolution of the issues, but rather due to the inability to complete the inspection process. The most recent documented activity on these complaints, as of May 2025, indicates that they should be re-reported through the 311 system if the conditions persist.
