92-02 242nd Street, Queens, NY 11426

The three-story, three-unit building at 92-02 242nd Street in Bellerose, owned by Sukhdev Reehal and constructed in 1965, has a documented history of maintenance and structural issues spanning multiple years. Most notably, there have been persistent heating system problems, with the most recent complaints about inadequate heat occurring in 2022 and 2023, following a pattern of heating-related issues that began as early as 2018. There have also been recurring electrical problems, including power outages and lighting failures, with emergency complaints filed in 2020 and 2021.

The building underwent multiple inspections for illegal conversion between 2020 and 2023, with at least one resulting in a $2,500 penalty for exceeding the legally approved number of families, though some inspection attempts met with "No Access" outcomes. Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2018 specifically identified multiple issues in the third-floor apartment, including pest problems, missing tiles in the bathroom and kitchen, and inadequate heating systems, along with appliance and carbon monoxide detection concerns. The property has experienced ongoing rodent issues, as evidenced by failed inspections in 2010, 2016, and 2021, though the most recent rodent inspection in 2021 noted only "Other Reasons" for failure rather than specific violations.

Water infrastructure modifications were reportedly made without proper permits, as documented in a 2020 ECB violation. While many past maintenance issues have been resolved, including various housing violations from 2018-2020, the building's persistent heating system problems and recurring electrical issues suggest ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure maintenance. The most recent documented complaints, while closed, indicate continued concerns with building systems that affect tenant comfort and safety.
