94-12 85th Road, Queens, NY 11421

The four-story, 16-unit residential building at 94-12 85th Road in Woodhaven, owned by Julio Mezza, has experienced recurring heating issues over the past several years. Notable incidents include multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water service disruptions in 2020 (April 18 and April 20) and 2022 (January 16), though in each case, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) reported that these issues were resolved upon follow-up, despite the need for multiple complaints to address the problem.

Another complaint was filed in September 2021 concerning ceiling paint and plaster issues, which was investigated but resulted in no violations being issued. More recently, in June 2024, there was a complaint regarding locked or blocked egress that was recorded as an emergency situation, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

Fortunately, the building has maintained a clean record with respect to bedbug infestations, with all five annual reports from 2020 through 2025 showing zero infested units, eradicated units, or re-infested units. The most recent bedbug report covering the period from November 2023 to October 2024 confirms this ongoing absence of infestations. While the building's age (built in 1931) is considered, it's important to note that the heat and hot water issues appear to be the most consistent maintenance challenge, with multiple complaints over different years, though these complaints have generally been addressed promptly according to official records.
