119-14 Hillside Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

The three-story, five-unit residential building at 119-14 Hillside Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Arturo Lanuza, has experienced several notable incidents in recent years. Most significantly, in November 2023, the building faced heating and hot water issues affecting the entire structure, though these were reportedly resolved shortly after tenant complaints were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

Two violations were documented during a November 20, 2023 inspection: a Class A violation regarding rust treatment and painting requirements for the first stack's balconies, and a Class C violation concerning obstructed drop ladder landing at the fire escape caused by trash cans. Earlier in 2023, the building received a Department of Buildings violation for failing to file its 2019 external low-pressure inspection, though this violation was subsequently dismissed in September 2023.

The property has maintained an impeccable record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2019 through 2024 showing zero cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation. The building, constructed in 1931, is classified as a New Law Tenement, which typically suggests certain historical preservation requirements, though specific details about such requirements are not included in the available data. The most pressing recent concerns appear to be related to heating system maintenance and exterior safety compliance, though both areas have seen some form of official resolution or response.
