94-16 94th Street, Queens, NY 11416

The two-story, four-unit residential building at 94-16 94th Street in Ozone Park, owned by Kapoor Properties LLC and constructed in 1931, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years. Most concerning is the recent pattern of electrical and door-related problems in 2024, with emergency complaints about lighting failures and door issues documented in April 2024. The property has faced multiple heating and hot water system troubles since 2023, with violations issued in January and February 2023 for insufficient heat and hot water, followed by similar complaints in early 2024.

Plumbing problems have also been a recurring issue, including radiator and toilet concerns in early 2024, as well as water leak incidents in 2023-2024. A significant regulatory concern emerged in March 2024 when a Department of Buildings inspection revealed an apparently unauthorized Class A apartment conversion in the cellar, complete with bedroom, living room, kitchen, and bathroom facilities, which was subsequently cited as an Environmental Control Board violation with a $2,500 penalty. This inspection also uncovered various maintenance violations, including insect infestation in Apartment 1R, issues with radiator steam escape, and multiple building entrance door problems.

The building has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance from 2019-2024, with no reported infestations in any unit during these periods. Recent complaints in 2025 regarding illegal commercial use in the residential zone and gas utility access issues further highlight ongoing regulatory scrutiny of the property. While many of the documented complaints have been resolved, as evidenced by their "Closed" status, the frequency and variety of maintenance issues, particularly concerning building systems like heat and water, suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep. The most recent building class and age suggest it is an old law tenement building, which may have specific preservation and maintenance requirements under New York City regulations.
