41-17 161st Street, Queens, NY 11358

This two-family residence at 41-17 161st Street in Flushing, owned by Vasilia Lygeris-ortiz, has experienced several noteworthy incidents primarily between 2018 and 2020. The most significant safety concerns relate to the building's fire escape system, with complaints filed in December 2018 and December 2019, both of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development but resulted in no violations being issued. Between 2019 and 2020, the property underwent multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) inspections, including two audits for professional certification compliance, investigations of illegal conversion allegations, and a construction enforcement work order.

While these inspections revealed violations requiring attention, records show that the violations issued on June 11 and July 19, 2019, were ultimately dismissed in August 2020, with the work being signed off on March 17, 2020. The building's violation history indicates consistent oversight and inspection activity, particularly in 2019, when multiple complaints were filed and investigated. These included a permit violation in October 2019, and several instances requiring professional certification compliance audits.

The property's illegal conversion issues, which appeared as complaints in late 2018 and early 2020, were formally addressed with a vacate order that was fully rescinded in August 2020. Throughout this period, the building underwent various inspections and corrections, with most issues being properly resolved according to the official records, though access issues were noted during one inspection attempt in April 2019. The building's documented history reflects a pattern of regulatory scrutiny and compliance efforts between 2018 and 2020, with all identified violations ultimately being resolved and dismissed. While the property experienced multiple safety and compliance inspections, particularly concerning fire escapes and potential illegal conversions, the records show proper follow-up and resolution of identified issues, with no open violations or pending complaints as of the most recent record updates.
