This four-story New Law tenement building, located at 103-35 97th Street in Ozone Park and owned by George Santis, has a documented history of several maintenance issues over recent years. The building has experienced recurring heating and hot water problems, with three separate complaints registered in 2019 and 2021, one of which was classified as an emergency situation. Additionally, there have been concerns about unsanitary conditions, particularly a mold incident in February 2020 that was investigated but did not result in any violations.

A plumbing issue concerning a toilet was reported in March 2019, though this was classified as a non-emergency. The building has shown significant challenges with pest management, particularly regarding bedbugs, with consistent reports over the past six years. Most recently, in December 2024, there was one infested unit reported for the 2023-2024 period, though it was noted as eradicated.

The property has had multiple bedbug incidents between 2019 and 2024, with varying numbers of infested units ranging from two to five during different reporting periods, all of which were reportedly eradicated. An illegal conversion complaint was filed in December 2021, but the inspector was unable to gain access during the final attempt in January 2023. On a positive note, a rodent inspection conducted in September 2019 resulted in a passing grade, indicating no rodent issues at that time.
