253-02 West End Drive, Queens, NY 11362

The three-story, two-family house at 253-02 West End Drive in Little Neck, owned by Mehrdad Kahen, has a documented history dating back to its 1965 construction. The most significant recent incident occurred in August 2019 when Department of Buildings inspectors responded to a complaint regarding unauthorized occupancy of space within the building.

The inspection, conducted on August 2, 2019, revealed that one floor, which according to the Certificate of Occupancy was designated as a community facility (UG4), was being used as a massage therapy establishment, an unauthorized occupancy that warranted an Oath Violation. This violation was subsequently resolved, with records showing a peculiar balance adjustment of -$1250.00 related to a penalty that appears to have been imposed at some point, though the final penalty amount was recorded as $0.00.

Prior to these incidents, there was a permit issued in August 2018 (Permit #421662659) for unspecified work under job number 421662659, though the permit's specific purpose and completion status are not detailed in the available records. While the building's documented history shows relatively few official incidents over the past several years, the unauthorized occupancy violation in 2019 stands out as the most significant event, potentially indicating a previous pattern of unauthorized use of building space. The records suggest that the property's occupancy and use history has been monitored by city agencies, resulting in both enforcement actions and permit requirements.
