48-21 91st Street, Queens, NY 11373

The two-family house at 48-21 91st Street in Elmhurst, owned by Ramiro Flores, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past two years. Most recently, in November 2024, there was a heat and hot water emergency affecting the entire building, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection. Prior to this, the building faced multiple water supply problems in 2023-2024, with complaints documented in October 2023 and August 2024, though no violations were found in the latter case.

The summer of 2023 saw several issues related to building maintenance, including violations for damaged floors and ceilings in August 2023, though multiple complaints regarding these conditions could not be inspected due to access issues. Earlier plumbing concerns were reported in July 2023 regarding bathtub/shower facilities, some of which were classified as emergencies. The building has also been subject to enforcement actions regarding illegal conversions, with two complaints filed in 2022 and 2023, both resulting in Oath Violations being served.

These violations were officially documented in March 2023. While the property has experienced multiple maintenance issues, it is notable that many complaints resulted in no violations being issued, and several could not be verified due to access problems. The pattern of water-related complaints, particularly regarding heating and hot water systems, represents the most consistent maintenance concern over the past two years.
