The 6-story, 64-unit building at 94-03 222nd Street in Queens Village, built in 1931 and currently owned by Yida Stern, has experienced numerous maintenance and safety issues in recent years. The most pressing concerns include recurring problems with windows and doors, as evidenced by multiple complaints between February and May 2025 regarding window frames and door conditions. There have been significant pest-related issues, with several unsanitary conditions reported between 2024-2025, including a notable infestation in Apartment 2A.

The building has experienced mechanical system failures, including heat and hot water issues in March 2025, and has ongoing elevator reliability concerns, with multiple complaints recorded in 2024 about the building's single elevator service and associated safety systems, resulting in ECB violations and fines. Recent inspections revealed several safety violations, particularly in late 2024 where Apartment 3A was found to have defective carbon monoxide and smoke detectors, and heating issues. While some violations have been resolved, including bedbug infestations in 2024, others remain open, such as access issues to the building's heating system.

The building has a documented history of elevator problems, with multiple complaints about service interruptions and system failures, particularly noteworthy in 2024 when all service was disrupted. The property has also faced inspection access issues, particularly in early 2025 where multiple complaints were not able to be properly investigated due to lack of access to units. While some improvements have been noted, such as the resolution of some pest and maintenance issues, the building continues to experience recurring maintenance challenges that affect resident comfort and safety.
