86-10 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11416

86-10 101st Avenue is a three-story, six-unit Old Law Tenement building located in Ozone Park and owned by Nicholas Vavilis. The building has a concerning pattern of heat and hot water issues, with four documented complaints in the past five years - most recently in January 2025 and October 2023, both involving the entire building and marked as emergencies. Additional maintenance concerns have emerged, particularly in mid-2024 when multiple complaints about wall paint/plaster, cabinet issues, and plumbing problems were filed, though inspectors were unable to gain access to evaluate these conditions.

A notable air quality concern was reported in October 2023 involving chemical vapors, which prompted a Department of Health response. The building was inspected in June 2023 and found to have various violations related to safety and notification requirements, including the need for proper gas leak procedures, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and building registration information postings. All these violations were eventually certified as resolved by June 2023.

The property's heating system appears to be a persistent problem, with multiple documented outages requiring emergency responses from HPD. However, despite these ongoing infrastructure challenges, the building has maintained a clean bedbug record, with three consecutive annual reports from 2020-2024 showing no infestations or related issues. The most recent building inspection in August 2024 revealed three open violations requiring attention, specifically regarding the posting of important safety information, including gas leak procedures and inspection certificate requirements, suggesting ongoing concerns about building safety compliance.
