104-07 Liberty Avenue, Queens, NY 11417

The 4-unit, 3-story mixed-use building at 104-07 Liberty Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Linda Scarpantonio, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past two years (2024-2025) requiring multiple emergency interventions. Recent plumbing difficulties were documented in May 2025 and September 2024, while August 2024 saw a cluster of concerning issues including water leaks with heavy flow, staircase problems, and violations related to wall conditions.

The building underwent an inspection in August 2024 that revealed multiple violations including issues with fire escape egress, wall repairs, and missing safety notices related to smoke detectors, carbon monoxide requirements, and gas leak procedures. The property has a history of water-related problems, with multiple emergency water leak complaints and violations recorded in 2024. There is also an active ECB violation from September 2023 regarding unpermitted construction of an enclosed rear yard canopy with associated occupancy concerns, resulting in a $5,000 penalty (with $2,500 currently due).

The building experienced significant administrative issues in late 2023-2024, including a partial vacate order related to an illegal conversion complaint. Notably, there have been no documented bedbug infestations in any unit since 2018, indicating good pest management practices. While there have been several complaints about unauthorized work and various building conditions, many were closed with no violations found during inspections, including recent complaints from 2024 and 2023 about construction work and sidewalk conditions.
