85-49 96th Street, Queens, NY 11421
The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 85-49 96th Street in Woodhaven, owned by Badreyah El-kilany and constructed in 1931, has experienced numerous maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints and violations relating to unsanitary conditions, including recurring mold issues, door and window problems, plumbing concerns, and cabinet conditions, with several violations issued that require correction.
Of particular concern is the building's boiler situation, with multiple defective/inoperative complaints in 2024-2025, and an active Environmental Control Board violation from January 2024 regarding various boiler-related safety issues with a penalty of $3,125. The building has multiple open violations from October 2024 inspections, including issues with a public hall wall paint, brick and mortar conditions at the parapet wall, fire escape obstructions, and problems with mail receptacles.
There have been recent rodent control challenges, with inspections in 2023-2025 showing some initial failures but more recent compliance passes. The building's documentation shows a pattern of concerns requiring attention, particularly regarding safety systems like the boiler, as evidenced by multiple citations for failing to file annual boiler inspection reports from 2018-2023, though the building has passed electrical and elevator inspections in 2024.
