102-02 185th Street, Queens, NY 11423

The property at 102-02 185th Street in Hollis is a two-story, 56-unit garden/maisonette building constructed in 1950 and currently owned by Frank Messina. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues in recent years, particularly concerning heat and hot water systems, with two emergency complaints about heating issues in late 2024 - one affecting the entire building and another impacting a single apartment, though both issues were reportedly resolved upon inspection.

There have been multiple reports of unsanitary conditions, including pest infestations, throughout 2024, with violations issued in September and April for pest-related issues. Additional maintenance concerns include flooring problems, as documented in both 2024 and more recently in 2025, as well as plumbing and water leak issues. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of persistent issues, with a cluster of complaints in 2024 relating to various deficiencies, including a slow water leak from April 2024, and several complaints about carpeting, plumbing, and sanitation in mid-2025.

Specific violations were documented in September 2024 for Apartment 1FL, including defective wood flooring, broken vinyl tile in the kitchen, pest infestations, and safety concerns regarding carbon monoxide detectors. The property has an active ECB violation from 2018 regarding failure to comply with a commission's order related to boiler registration and storage conditions, with a penalty imposed. Historical records from 2017 and 2011 show mixed results for rodent inspections, suggesting ongoing challenges with pest control in the building.
