95-23 97th Street, Queens, NY 11416

The two-family house at 95-23 97th Street in Ozone Park, currently owned by Allana Rampersad, has experienced several maintenance issues, with the most significant cluster occurring in January 2023. During that month, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heating/hot water issues, plumbing problems (specifically toilets), and appliance concerns (electric/gas ranges).

Of particular note, there were two separate incidents of insufficient heating/hot water reported between January 7-15, 2023, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) being unable to gain access to inspect one of the complaints, and another being a duplicate of an already-reported building-wide issue. While HPD conducted inspections for other complaints during this period, no violations were issued in any of the cases.

Looking at the building's history prior to 2023, there were two Department of Buildings complaints filed in July 2019, though neither resulted in violations: one regarding egress issues and another concerning suspected illegal conversion, with the inspector unable to gain access for verification. The property, constructed in 1940, is a single-story building with two units, and while it has experienced various maintenance requests, many have been resolved without violations being issued. The most pressing concerns appear to be related to the heating system, as indicated by the multiple complaints in January 2023, though subsequent to those incidents, there have been no further reported heating issues in the available data through October 2023.
