102-01 186th Street, Queens, NY 11423

The two-story, 56-unit building at 102-01 186th Street in Hollis, owned by Frank Messina, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of heating and hot water problems, with multiple complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025, including building-wide and apartment-specific issues. A significant incident occurred in December 2024 when Apartment 1 recorded dangerously high water temperatures of 131 degrees, exceeding the 130-degree maximum limit.

This unit also exhibited various maintenance concerns including defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, water leak issues in the bathroom ceiling, and problems with plastered surfaces requiring repair. The building's current issues include an open water leak complaint from May 2025, while earlier violations from March 2024 remain unresolved regarding adequate heating supply. The property has a documented history of bedbug infestations, with three units affected in 2022, one in 2023, and no reported cases in 2024, indicating some success in eradication efforts.

Environmental Control Board violations from 2018-2019 regarding boiler registration and flue support issues appear to be still pending resolution. Rodent inspections between 2013 and 2017 showed varying results, with several initial inspections failing for "Other Reasons," though subsequent compliance inspections passed. The building's maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with heating systems, water-related issues, and occasional pest problems, with varying degrees of responsiveness to tenant complaints and regulatory requirements.
