33-18 99th Street, Queens, NY 11368

33-18 99th Street is a 6-unit, 3-story New Law Tenement building located in Jackson Heights, built in 1933 and currently owned by Angeles Jara. The building has experienced recurring issues with heating and hot water systems, with at least 11 emergency complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between 2018 and 2025, with the most recent complaints in April 2025 and November 2024. While heat and hot water were reportedly restored in most of these cases, access issues sometimes prevented inspections.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, particularly in recent inspections from December 2024, which revealed multiple violations requiring attention, including problems with vestibule doors, a leaking roof over the third-story public hall, and encumbrances of household items in common areas. There were also violations related to door latches at both building entrances. A notable safety concern was addressed in 2023 when window guards were required for Apartment 2F.

The building's history includes two Environmental Control Board violations from 2018 and 2019 related to failure to comply with commissioner's orders, each with a $1,250 penalty that has since been resolved. Building maintenance records show proper bedbug reporting compliance in recent years, with no infestations reported in the last two annual periods (2022-2023 and 2021-2022). Three permits were issued between 2018 and 2021 for various work on the property, though specific details of the work were not provided in the available records. While the building has demonstrated some responsiveness to violations through subsequent repairs and certifications, the recurring nature of heating system complaints and recent maintenance violations suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and infrastructure.
