101-20 80th Street, Queens, NY 11416

The two-family house at 101-20 80th Street in Ozone Park, owned by Shieley Basdeo and built in 1920, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2025. During January 2025, multiple complaints were filed regarding broken/missing window guards, unsanitary conditions including pests, wall paint/plaster issues, and electrical problems involving outlets and switches.

Notably, many of these complaints could not be properly inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) due to access issues. In June 2025, a new asbestos complaint was filed with the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), though the investigation was incomplete when officials could not make contact with the property owner. The building has an active Department of Buildings (DOB) complaint regarding potential illegal conversion filed in January 2025, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their initial visit.

Additional maintenance issues were documented in July 2025, including paint/plaster problems, electrical power outages, door issues, mold concerns, window security problems, and further electrical outlet/switch troubles. While some of these complaints have been marked as "closed," the high volume of repeated issues across various categories suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at the property. The most recent heat and hot water complaint from December 2018 had no violations issued, but a pattern of unaddressed or difficult-to-inspect problems is evident, particularly regarding access issues for inspections and the handling of pest and electrical concerns.
