97-16 97th Street, Queens, NY 11416

The two-family house at 97-16 97th Street in Ozone Park, owned by Wanda Mocie, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years, with most recent concerns centered around pest infestations and heating systems. Notably, in early 2023, there were multiple reports of unsanitary conditions related to pests, with several inspections conducted by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), resulting in both violations and non-violations being issued between January and February 2023.

The building has also faced heating and hot water issues, particularly in late 2022, with complaints filed in November and December regarding both apartment-specific and building-wide problems; some inspections were unable to gain access, though one inspection did result in violations being issued, specifically concerning a radiator plumbing issue. Additional maintenance concerns were documented in December 2022, including issues with doors, windows, walls (paint/plaster), and specifically identified as needing attention were violations related to plumbing work.

While many of these complaints have been officially closed, the pattern of heating system problems and pest infestations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building, constructed in 1970, consists of two stories and three units, and is classified as a two-family house under NYC building codes. All identified violations and complaint details can be further reviewed through the NYC HPD website for the most current status and historical context.
