33-54 99th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement at 33-54 99th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Hiuying Kou and constructed in 1927, has experienced recurring maintenance challenges in recent years. Most notably, there have been multiple heating and hot water system issues, with emergency complaints filed in June 2025 and April 2024 affecting the entire building, indicating an ongoing concern with the building's heating infrastructure. The property has also faced various maintenance issues including pest infestations (specifically roaches in multiple apartments), water damage, and problems with window guards and flooring.

The building underwent several Housing Maintenance Code inspections in 2024 that revealed violations requiring attention, including issues with window guards in apartments 1B and 4C, flooring problems in apartments 3C and 4C, and a hot water supply issue in apartment 4C. Recent service requests include non-emergency paint and plaster issues in July 2024 affecting windows/frames and ceilings, though these did not result in violations upon inspection. The building has a history of rodent inspections showing mixed results between 2010 and 2018, with more recent inspections showing compliance.

While the building has maintained a "0" infestation count for bedbugs in all reported years from 2018 through 2024, the presence of other pests has been documented. The Department of Buildings received an illegal conversion complaint in early 2025, though the inspector was unable to gain access to investigate. Historical records also show a boiler-related violation from 2018 that was resolved with no penalty imposed. The frequency and nature of these maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep and systems maintenance, though many recent violations have been addressed and closed through proper channels.
