91-08 77th Street, Queens, NY 11421

The two-family residential building at 91-08 77th Street in Woodhaven, owned by Erick Gonzalez, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during 2020 and 2021. In February 2020, the second-story apartment (Apartment 2) was found to have multiple problems requiring urgent attention, including water leaks affecting various ceilings (in rooms, bathroom, and private hallway) and visible mold conditions in both the hallway and entrance areas, with additional violations related to damaged plaster surfaces and the need for proper painting throughout the apartment.

These issues led to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations being issued on February 2, 2020, primarily focusing on roof leaks and mold problems. More recently, the building faced structural concerns that prompted serious attention in 2021. Between September and November 2021, there were several complaints regarding building stability and maintenance, including reports of excessive debris, construction enforcement issues, and concerning vibrations.

Notably, a partial vacate order was served in January 2023 due to building stability concerns. Environmental Control Board violations from August and October 2021 documented hazardous conditions, including a failing front canopy and deteriorating concrete steps, while Department of Buildings inspections revealed significant concerns about the front stairs, concrete patio, and surrounding walls being cracked, sagging, and undermined, requiring evaluation and repair plans from a licensed professional engineer. While many of these violations have been marked as resolved, the building's history shows a pattern of water-related issues, mold concerns, and structural maintenance challenges that have required multiple inspections and interventions over the past several years.
