93-45 222nd Street, Queens, NY 11428

The 63-unit, 3-story residential building at 93-45 222nd Street in Queens Village, owned by Yida Stern and built in 1939, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent years, particularly during the summer of 2025. Most notably, there were multiple complaints and violations related to unsanitary conditions and pest problems in June 2025, resulting in HPD violations being issued. There have been recurring plumbing issues with water supply problems, including both emergency and non-emergency complaints, though inspections generally found no violations of housing laws.

The building underwent significant structural concerns in early 2024, with complaints about shaking and vibration leading to structural monitoring. An important safety violation was recorded in December 2024, when multiple issues were found in apartment 3M, including ceiling leaks, defective electrical outlets, and missing smoke detectors, though these were certified as corrected by January 2025. The property has a history of maintenance challenges beyond immediate plumbing and pest issues. In 2024, there was a concerning situation with a collapsed front entry platform that resulted in a $6,250 fine.

The building's systems have faced scrutiny, with boiler and gas line complaints in mid-2025, though inspections either could not verify the issue or found no violations. Notably, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with zero reported cases in the past five years (2020-2025). The property has also faced several administrative violations regarding energy reporting requirements between 2019 and 2023, though these were ultimately dismissed. The most recent building maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly plumbing and pest management, despite many complaints being resolved through HPD inspections.
