86-31 102nd Road, Queens, NY 11416

This two-story, three-unit building at 86-31 102nd Road in Ozone Park, owned by Israt Jahan, has had multiple concerning issues since 2018. The property, built in 1920 and classified as "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A," has been the subject of persistent violations related to unauthorized modifications and occupancy changes.

In March 2018, multiple serious violations were documented, including illegal cellar-level alterations creating unauthorized bathrooms and bedrooms, electrical safety issues, and claims of over-occupancy beyond its designated three-family status, with penalties totaling $55,000. Although many of these violations were marked as "Resolved," multiple open bedbug reporting violations from 2020 to 2024 suggest ongoing compliance issues with Housing Maintenance Code requirements. Recent years show a pattern of maintenance and pest control challenges, particularly in 2020 when multiple service requests were filed regarding plumbing issues and pest problems, though inspectors reportedly could not gain access to verify these conditions.

The building underwent some permitted work in 2018-2019, including facade repairs and plumbing updates, but these followed a period of significant regulatory scrutiny. A 2018 Department of Buildings complaint noted improper masonry repairs at the stoop entrance, and there is an active open violation from 2024 regarding the failure to file required annual bedbug reports. While some historical violations from 2018 established a pattern of building code non-compliance, many were resolved through penalties and corrections; however, the persistence of bedbug reporting violations and recent pest complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
