102-02 186Th Street, Queens, NY 11423

The two-story, 56-unit residential building at 102-02 186th Street in Hollis, owned by Frank Messina, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues in recent months. Most notably, there were heat and hot water problems reported in April 2025 affecting the entire building, though these were quickly addressed according to HPD records.

Between February and May 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding various building conditions, including pest infestations, safety concerns related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, problems with doors and windows, and issues with flooring. HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct inspections for these complaints, which has resulted in the need for affected residents to refile their concerns. The building also has some outstanding violations from earlier inspections, particularly in Apartment 2, including issues with a leaking roof, defective window springs, and missing safety equipment, though some violations from 2024 have been marked as closed.

Historical records show that in 2018-2019, there were violations related to boiler registration and drainage issues, with penalties imposed at that time. Recent records indicate that a new permit was issued in December 2024, though the specific purpose of this permit is not detailed in the provided data. The pattern of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building, particularly regarding basic services and safety systems, though many recent complaints have not been able to receive proper inspection due to accessibility issues.
