146-11 Hillside Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The 24-unit, 4-story residential building at 146-11 Hillside Avenue in Briarwood, owned by Kalliopi Vournou, has experienced persistent maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of pest-related problems, with multiple unsanitary condition complaints recorded between May 2025 and previous months, including three complaints within a single day in May 2025 alone. While some of these complaints resulted in HPD violations, others were not able to be inspected during the complaints process.

The building has also faced concerns about building safety systems, with open violations from late 2021 regarding defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors in Apartment 17. A concerning pattern of bedbug infestations has been documented, with the most recent report from June 2025 indicating one infested unit, though records show all previously identified units were eradicated. The property has a history of rodent activity, with inspections showing rat activity in 2025 and previous years (2022, 2021), with the most recent rodent inspection in April 2025 showing compliance.

Between 2020 and 2021, Apartment 17 faced multiple violations including mold issues, window guard concerns, and a reported cockroach infestation. Recent complaints from May 2025 have also included issues with water supply and wall/ceiling conditions. The building was built in 1931 and has undergone various maintenance challenges typical of older structures, particularly regarding pest management and safety systems. While some violations have been resolved over time, the recurring nature of certain issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
