103-03 97th Avenue, Queens, NY 11416

The two-family residence at 103-03 97th Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Nadira Lekhram, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years that may impact resident comfort and safety. Most recently, in November 2023, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint that was promptly addressed and closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building has a concerning pattern of utility-related problems, including a September 2022 electrical power outage that resulted in Class C violations for inadequate electric service to fixtures in the 2nd-floor apartment, and a January 2022 plumbing issue with water supply problems that affected the same unit. During a September 2022 inspection, multiple violations were documented for the 2nd-floor apartment, including the need for carbon monoxide detector repairs, and infestations of roaches and mice, though these issues were certified as corrected by November 2022. The property has a history dating back to 1920 and consists of two stories.

In December 2020, there was a complaint regarding an alleged illegal conversion related to an address on the property (11416), but access was denied during inspection attempts, resulting in a closed status. While some issues have been resolved through HPD interventions, the recurring nature of utility problems and previous pest infestations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's documented history shows a consistent pattern of emergency service requests, with three major incidents occurring between 2022-2023 involving heat/hot water, electric power, and water supply problems, all of which required HPD intervention to address potentially hazardous living conditions.
