242-06 Horace Harding Expwy, Queens, NY 11362

This 168-unit, two-story residential building located at 242-06 Horace Harding Expressway in Douglaston was constructed in 1953 and is currently owned by Stephen Fasano. The building has experienced some recurring maintenance issues in recent years, with the most notable being two smoking-related complaints in 2023 and 2025 regarding violations of smoke-free areas, with the latter complaint prompting a Department of Health inspection.

In 2021, there were two significant service requests: one for a power outage and another for heat/hot water issues affecting the entire building, though no violations were found in the power outage investigation, and access issues limited the heat/hot water inspection. The building had several maintenance violations documented in 2018, primarily affecting the 1st floor apartment (1FL), including problems with water leaks, mold, and defective plastered surfaces in the bathroom, though most of these issues appear to have been addressed by mid-2018.

A bedbug reporting system established in 2020 shows consistent compliance, with the most recent filings (2022-2025) indicating zero infested units. The building's exterior maintenance has required attention, with a 2018 violation noting a broken sidewalk flap door, and in March 2022, there was an annual bedbug report violation issued. Notably, the building has maintained a "passed" status on its rodent inspections since 2017, suggesting good overall pest management.
