100-16 39th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The two-family house at 100-16 39th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Faraz Soleimanzadeh, has experienced several significant incidents over the past five years, with particular attention needed regarding its recent structural and occupancy issues. Most notably, in late 2024, there was a building shaking/structural stability complaint that resulted in an Oath Violation, and the building currently has unresolved violations related to loose/missing decorative tiles on the right side of the second story.

The property has a documented history of problematic occupancy patterns, particularly during 2021-2022 when it operated as an unauthorized adult physical culture establishment (specifically a massage parlor named "Hai Yan Spa") on the second floor, with multiple violations issued for illegal occupancy, work without permits to create partitioned rooms, and failure to comply with certificate of correction requirements. This situation generated several Environmental Control Board violations totaling $6,280, with some penalties still showing as active. The building's maintenance history raises concerns about general upkeep and pest control, with multiple rodent inspections in 2020-2021 indicating rat activity, though bait was applied during inspections in March-April 2021.

The property has also faced scrutiny for work performed without proper permits in 2021, including the installation of water and waste plumbing lines for various facilities, though these specific violations were later dismissed. A recent complaint from 2024 regarding building shaking/vibrating issues adds to the list of structural concerns. While some of the earlier occupancy and environmental violations have been resolved, the building's history suggests a pattern of regulatory compliance challenges that tenants should be aware of, particularly regarding past unauthorized commercial use of residential space, structural maintenance issues, and pest control measures.
