85-09 97th Avenue, Queens, NY 11416

The 2-family house at 85-09 97th Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Saifullah Bhuiya, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with particular concerns in 2023. The building, constructed in 1910, is documented to have persistent problems with heating and cooking gas systems.

Most notably, during late 2023 (November-December), there were multiple emergency complaints regarding both cooking gas and heat/hot water issues, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) unable to gain access to units for inspections in several cases. Similar patterns are evident in previous years, with comparable heating and hot water complaints recorded in both 2019 and 2023, though these earlier complaints were resolved within a short timeframe.

The most recent cluster of complaints in late 2023 included two separate incidents on November 20 and November 27, specifically regarding cooking gas and heating problems, with system-wide implications suggested by the nature of the complaints. While previous heating and hot water issues from 2019 had shown some resolution, the recurrence of similar complaints in 2023 indicates an ongoing pattern of maintenance challenges. The building's documented history suggests persistent infrastructure issues, particularly relating to essential services like heating and cooking facilities, with multiple instances of HPD being unable to access units for inspection or verification of problems.
