43-20 Hamilton Place, Queens, NY 11363

The two-story, 8-unit cooperative building at 43-20 Hamilton Place in Douglaston, owned by Tony Fotou, has been operational since 1931 and has experienced several notable events in recent years. Most recently, in March 2023, the building faced an emergency heat and hot water outage that affected the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored within three days.

There was also a administrative mix-up in mid-2023 when a violation was issued for failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, though this was subsequently dismissed in November 2023. The building has maintained a consistent record of compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with six consecutive years (through 2025) showing zero reported infestations, eradications, or re-infestations.

However, there were three Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2023, though these appear to have been administrative in nature rather than indicating an actual infestation problem. The most recent violation, issued in March 2023, pertained to the filing of the annual bedbug report, but subsequent filings as of 2023-2025 show compliance with zero infested units. While the building has faced some infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, and has had periodic administrative violations, the overall trend indicates improved maintenance and reporting compliance in recent years, with no documented pest control issues since the bedbug reporting requirements were properly implemented.
