76-27 85th Road, Queens, NY 11421

The 2-story, 4-unit residential building at 76-27 85th Road in Woodhaven, owned by Surinder Kaur and built in 1910, has experienced significant maintenance issues as of August 2023. During a cluster of emergency complaints filed on August 8, 2023, multiple serious concerns were documented, including heat and hot water problems affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, plumbing issues with water supply, and multiple reports of pest-related unsanitary conditions.

Notably, violations were issued for faulty electric/gas range appliances and window frame issues. These complaints prompted inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though access to some apartments was not granted. The building's recent inspection history from August 2024 indicates multiple open violations related to safety and compliance requirements, including missing notices for carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, and gas leak procedures in common areas.

There are also violations regarding the illegal fastening hasps at the scuttle hatch to the roof on the 2nd story, and requirements to post the building's registration number and housing information guide availability notice in both English and Spanish. Additionally, there have been two separate complaints about potential illegal conversions - one in 2018 and another in 2023 - though in both cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct an inspection. While some of the 2023 complaints were resolved within days, the persistence of open violations as of 2024 suggests ongoing regulatory compliance issues.
