64-19 62nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11379

The two-family home at 64-19 62nd Avenue in Middle Village, owned by Urszula Nowak and built in 1960, has experienced repeated issues regarding unauthorized modifications to the property's curb access and driveway infrastructure over the past several years. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations concerning illegal curb cuts and driveway modifications, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2023.

Two complaints filed in October 2023 regarding illegal conversions and illegal curb modifications were inspected, though the inspection for the conversion complaint noted no access. A similar pattern can be seen in earlier complaints, including a 2021 incident that resulted in a corrective action request, and 2019 complaints that were referred to the Department of Transportation and resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

The building has also been subject to Environmental Control Board violations related to these unauthorized modifications, including a 2019 violation with a $250 penalty for failure to maintain the building in a code-compliant manner, specifically regarding the two illegally constructed curb cuts at the property's corner. Another violation from 2018 related to an unpermitted curb cut on 65th Street leading to the rear yard was resolved without a penalty. This pattern of unauthorized modifications to the property's curb access and driveway infrastructure, despite various inspections and violations, suggests ongoing challenges with maintaining compliance with building and transportation regulations, though most of these issues appear to have been resolved through various enforcement mechanisms.
