33-18 96th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The property at 33-18 96th Street in Jackson Heights is a two-story, four-unit building constructed in 1920 and currently owned by Marina Osorio. The building has recently experienced some maintenance and safety oversight challenges, with three separate complaints filed in March 2023 concerning safety issues (specifically related to smoke detectors), ceiling paint/plaster conditions, and bell/buzzer/intercom functionality.

All of these complaints were closed in June 2023 without inspection, as the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to the premises for evaluation. Notably, there are no reported issues with bedbugs in the building over the past three years, with the most recent bedbug report filings for the periods of 2022-2023 and 2021-2022 showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units.

The absence of bedbug infestations during this period is a positive indicator of the building's current condition. While the unresolved complaints from 2023 are concerning, it's important to note that all were categorized under HPD as either emergency or non-emergency, and the building's relatively limited history of complaints (only three in 2023 and no subsequent complaints) suggests they may have been isolated incidents. Three complaints were made on the same day, which could potentially indicate a single incident affecting multiple systems or services within the building.
