33-42 103rd Street, Queens, NY 11368
The three-story, three-unit building at 33-42 103rd Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Raul Velez, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues in recent years (2023-2025). Most notably, there were multiple complaints and violations regarding an unauthorized cellar conversion that occurred in October 2023, including illegal occupancy with three separate units, improper kitchen and bathroom installations, and violation of a prior 2005 vacate order, resulting in penalties totaling $7,300. The building has also faced recurring issues with basic utilities and infrastructure, including electrical problems (most recently a power outage in August 2024), heating/hot water issues, lighting failures, and various door/window maintenance problems between 2023-2024.
A total of eight Housing Maintenance Code violations were identified in June 2024, many related to safety and compliance requirements such as carbon monoxide detector notices, gas leak procedures, and door-related issues. While there have been no reported bedbug infestations in the past two reporting periods (2021-2024), the building's maintenance history shows a pattern of infrastructure and safety issues that impact resident comfort and safety. The Department of Buildings and Housing Preservation and Development records indicate multiple instances where inspectors were unable to gain access to units during investigations of heat/hot water, electrical, and window frame issues in 2024.
The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no active infestations reported since 2020. Recent inspections have shown ongoing violations related to building safety systems and tenant notifications, including requirements for proper notice posting and maintenance of self-closing doors. While many complaints and violations have been resolved through inspection and correction processes, several open violations remain as of the latest records, particularly regarding safety notice requirements and door maintenance issues.
