37-20 99th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 5-story, 63-unit New Law tenement building at 37-20 99th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Mili Bhuyan, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, between June and July 2025, there were multiple complaints about water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leak), window frame problems, and ceiling issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these complaints.

Prior to this, in December 2024, there were significant issues with sewage and water supply problems, which were reportedly resolved upon HPD contact. The building has open Housing Maintenance Code Violations as of 2024, including heating system access issues, and a broken glass pane in the bathroom of apartment 4E, as well as multiple violations in apartment E6 related to maintenance of various fixtures and surfaces. The property has a documented history of heating and water supply problems, with several emergency complaints in 2025 regarding heat/hot water for the entire building.

Previous inspection records show periodic rodent inspection failures between 2015-2019, though recent inspections have passed. While there have been bedbug reports in recent years (with the most recent in 2023 showing no infested units), the building's overall maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with timely repairs and responses to resident complaints, particularly regarding access for inspections and resolution of violations. The most recent substantial work required attention to water supply systems, heating infrastructure, and various apartment-specific maintenance issues across different units.
