94-32 94th Street, Queens, NY 11416

The building at 94-32 94th Street in Ozone Park is a 2-story, 3-unit residential structure classified as a New Law Tenement, built in 1930 and currently owned by Benjamin Lijo. The property has experienced significant maintenance challenges in recent years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between June and October 2024, including issues with heat/hot water, water supply, electrical power outages, and mold. Notably, there were seven separate incidents involving heat/hot water problems during this period, most of which resulted in HPD not gaining access to inspect the conditions.

The building also has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations as of October 2024, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and hot water supply in Apartment 2R, as well as problems with floor tiles and the need to address unauthorized alterations to the building's vestibule ceiling. The building's recent history shows recurring maintenance issues, particularly concerning basic utilities and safety systems. In addition to the open violations related to safety equipment, there were multiple simultaneous complaints in October 2024 regarding unsanitary conditions, electrical problems, and heating issues.

During 2024, there were 10 separate complaints about heat/hot water problems, most of which HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues. Other maintenance concerns include two sets of complaints about flooring issues and mold in August 2024. However, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past three reporting periods from 2023 to 2025, with no reported incidents. The only historical pest control issue on record was a failed rodent inspection in September 2014, with no subsequent rodent-related complaints or inspections noted in recent years.
