33-24 99th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The two-family house at 33-24 99th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Chiou Chen, has a notable history of building code violations and compliance issues, particularly in 2019. The property, constructed in 1910 and currently configured as a two-family dwelling, was found to have undergone unauthorized modifications, including the creation of additional living spaces in the cellar level.

This unlawful construction allegedly included full-height partition walls, a bathroom, and three bedrooms with water and waste installations, leading to two Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $11,250. A significant illegal conversion complaint was filed in March 2019, though a subsequent inspection in February 2020 resulted in the vacate order being fully rescinded. The building experienced three Professional Certification Compliance Audits in 2019, one of which resulted in violations being served.

A construction enforcement work order from April 2019 could not be inspected due to access issues, though a permit for plumbing and electrical work was subsequently issued later that month. One July 2019 violation was dismissed in February 2020, with no objections to the dismissal noted and the job being officially signed off on January 6, 2020. While all these issues have been resolved according to available records, the cluster of violations and required inspections in 2019 suggests a period of significant regulatory scrutiny for the property, which appears to have stabilized since then.
