108-15 96th Street, Queens, NY 11417

The three-unit, three-story building at 108-15 96th Street in Ozone Park, owned by Juliet Kashidas, has experienced several notable events throughout its documented history. The property, which was built in 1920 and is classified as HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A, has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all three recent annual Bedbug reports for 2022-2023, 2021-2022, and 2020-2021 showing no infested units, no eradicated units, and no re-infested units.

However, the building's violation history reveals a recurring issue with bedbug report compliance, with violations noted in both 2021 and 2023 for failure to file the required annual report, though these violations were subsequently closed. Of particular concern are several Department of Buildings complaints regarding possible illegal conversion activity at the property, with four separate complaints filed between January 2020 and December 2021 under complaint numbers 4803560, 4811160, 4839111, and 4867398.

All four complaints were marked as "Closed" due to access issues, specifically "No Access – 2nd Attempt" or "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt" during inspection attempts. The consistent pattern of access denial raises questions about the property's compliance with building regulations, though no definitive violation was recorded from these inspections as they were unable to access the premises. More recently, the building has filed its bedbug reports on time and maintained a zero infestation record, suggesting improved compliance with housing maintenance requirements, though the initial pattern of violations indicates some historical challenges with regulatory adherence.
