87-52 97th Street, Queens, NY 11421

The three-story residential building at 87-52 97th Street in Woodhaven, owned by Sybe Lika, has been facing persistent regulatory compliance issues over the past several years. Most notably, the property has accumulated four open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2021 to 2024 related to the failure to file required annual bedbug reports with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While these violations represent administrative non-compliance rather than direct safety concerns, their continued status from 2021 through 2024 indicates ongoing management oversight. Between mid-2018 and early 2020, the building was the subject of multiple complaints regarding potential illegal conversions, with six separate complaints filed during this period.

All of these complaints received a "Inspector Unable To Gain Access – 2nd Final Attempt" disposition, suggesting that enforcement officers were unable to conduct the necessary inspections to verify the alleged violations. While these complaints were ultimately closed due to lack of access, the recurring nature of the reports over approximately 1.5 years indicates concerns about unauthorized unit modifications in the building during that period. The 1901 building currently classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A has a total of three units, though the situation suggests there may have been prior concerns about unapproved modifications to the building's layout or unit configuration.
