120-17 84th Avenue, Queens, NY 11415

The three-unit residential building at 120-17 84th Avenue in Kew Gardens, owned by Lily Yadegar Boute, has undergone several significant regulatory challenges over the past several years since its construction in 1970. The most pressing issues occurred between 2018-2019, when multiple violations were documented regarding illegal unit conversions and occupancy discrepancies.

These included unauthorized full-height partition walls, improper bathroom installations, and occupancy violations beyond the legally permitted two-family designation, which resulted in a combined penalty of $1,250. While most of these violations were subsequently resolved, they indicate past non-compliance with the building's Certificate of Occupancy requirements. More recent concerns include a closed complaint from November 2022 about a potentially bulging or cracked retaining wall, though this was inspected in February 2023 with an Oath Violation served, and another Certificate of Occupancy-related complaint from December 2022 that found no violations upon inspection.

The building has also maintained a record of proper permit acquisition for various works, with the most recent permits issued in August 2023, though the specific nature of this work is not detailed in the records. Between 2020-2023, multiple permits were issued for plumbing and alteration work, suggesting ongoing maintenance and improvements to the property. While the building has experienced several compliance issues in the past, particularly regarding occupancy matters in 2018-2019, the more recent years indicate greater adherence to regulatory requirements, with no new violations related to unit conversions or occupancy noted since 2019.
