86-41 102nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11416

The two-family plus basement building at 86-41 102nd Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Andy Lopez, has experienced a series of maintenance and compliance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are significant ongoing concerns regarding illegal conversion and occupancy issues in the basement, with violations related to unlawful cooking facilities and improper living spaces, as reflected in multiple Department of Buildings complaints and a current active Environmental Control Board violation carrying a $2,500 penalty.

Recent maintenance history shows a pattern of various infrastructure issues, including electrical problems (outlets/switches), water leaks, door and window repairs needed, and wall maintenance. Between December 2023 and April 2024, there were multiple housing maintenance code complaints requiring attention, though inspections generally resulted in no violations being issued.

Noteworthy is an infestation problem reported in November 2023 affecting the basement apartment, with violations for both mice and roaches cited at that time, along with missing safety equipment such as smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases in the past two filing periods (2024-2025 and 2023-2024). While many service requests have been resolved and closed, the persistence of certain violations and ongoing complaints suggests continued attention to building maintenance is required, particularly regarding the basement conversion issues that prompted multiple complaints and inspections.
