76-17 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11416

The two-family house at 76-17 101st Avenue in Ozone Park, currently owned by Mohammed Ahmed, has a concerning pattern of maintenance issues and violations spanning several years. The property, which was built in 1931, has experienced recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, particularly evident in multiple emergency complaints made to HPD between November 2023 and February 2025. These complaints often resulted in violations being issued, though recent inspections in February 2025 found no violations related to heat or hot water when HPD conducted their inspections.

Additionally, there is a persistent issue with mold, with several emergency complaints filed between October 2023 and February 2025, though inspections generally found no violations. The building has several active violations related to external low-pressure inspection documentation, with the most recent being issued in September 2024 for failure to file the 2023 inspection. These inspection failures appear to be ongoing, with similar violations dating back to 2018 through 2021 all remaining active as of this report's writing.

Recent building-related complaints in 2025 indicate issues with electrical wiring and plumbing work, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these concerns. The property also experienced food poisoning incidents in late 2024, with at least two reported cases - one in progress and another that was deemed isolated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. While some complaints have been closed without violations being found, the recurring nature of heating system problems and the backlog of active violations related to pressure system inspections suggest ongoing maintenance challenges at this property.
