97-05 103rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11417

The four-story, 24-unit New Law Tenement building at 97-05 103rd Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Mauro Tummolo, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past two years. Most recently, in June 2025, the building received violations for plumbing issues and mold problems.

The property has also faced recurring pest control challenges, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions regarding pests between 2022 and 2023. More concerning are the various safety violations recorded in 2024, including defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in multiple apartments (C6 and D6 on the third and fourth floors, respectively) and issues with self-closing doors at the building entrance, for which violations remain open as of 2025. The building's heating system has experienced problems as well, with emergency complaints logged for no heat/hot water in both the entire building (2024) and individual apartments (2022).

Additional violations from 2024 include requirements for window guard repairs throughout public areas and a bedbug report that was due to be filed but only received for the 2021-2022 period with no infested units reported. The property has seen improvements in some areas, as evidenced by several violations being closed, but many critical safety issues remain open, particularly regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detection systems. The building's age (constructed in 1926) and repeated maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and safety compliance, warranting continued monitoring of violation resolution progress.
