97-05 75th Street, Queens, NY 11416

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 97-05 75th Street in Ozone Park, owned by Shane Patilla, has experienced several maintenance issues since 2018, with the most recent concerns occurring in early 2025. Two significant complaints were filed in January 2025: one regarding broken window guards (for which violations were issued) and another concerning pest issues, though inspections found no housing law violations. The building underwent multiple heat and hot water service interruptions between late 2018 and early 2019, including a notable complete failure affecting the entire building in January 2019.

Additional maintenance issues have included electrical problems (November 2018), a slow water leak (December 2018), and wall issues requiring attention (November 2021), though most of these complaints were ultimately closed without violations. The building has faced some regulatory scrutiny regarding lead paint and bedbug compliance. In 2021, multiple violations were issued related to lead paint hazard control requirements in apartments 1R, 1L, and 2R/2L, along with a C-class violation for failure to provide required records.

Bedbug compliance has been better managed in recent years, with the 2022-2023 report showing all 6 units were treated and eradicated, with no re-infestations reported. An October 2018 environmental control board violation related to flue pipe support and draft control issues was resolved with a $310 penalty. The property has maintained regular bedbug reporting compliance since 2019, with recent filings showing no active infestations and successful eradication in all units. The building's regulatory history demonstrates a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly regarding heating systems and window safety, while recent years have shown improved compliance with bedbug reporting and less frequent serious violations.
