71-49 Austin Street, Queens, NY 11375

This two-family house at 71-49 Austin Street in Forest Hills, owned by Jack Soleimani, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past three years, with particular concerns regarding heating systems and food safety. Most notably, in early 2024, there were two separate emergency complaints regarding heat and hot water issues, while similar problems were documented in February 2022, though these were resolved, at least temporarily.

The building has also faced multiple food safety-related incidents, with three documented cases of food poisoning between 2023 and 2024, though health authorities determined these were isolated incidents and conducted normal inspections. The property experienced a rodent/insect/garbage issue in 2022, which was addressed according to official records.

While the building appears to have maintained basic structural integrity, with no significant building code violations recorded, there were two separate complaints regarding electrical wiring issues in May and June 2022. However, both complaints were either unable to be verified upon inspection or found no violations at the time of inspection. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development has had limited access to inspect the building when responding to complaints, as evidenced by one February 2024 heat/hot water complaint where inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartment.
