106-10 Atlantic Avenue, Queens, NY 11416

106-10 Atlantic Avenue is a three-story, two-family residential building located in Ozone Park and owned by James Aurora. The 1920 structure has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout its recent history, with multiple HPD complaints documented between 2018 and 2022.

These heating system problems affected both individual apartments and the entire building, with tenants frequently reporting insufficient heat and hot water, though inspections were often unable to gain access for verification. The building also faced plumbing challenges, evidenced by a water supply complaint in March 2021, though no violations were found in that instance. Rodent-related issues were reported in March 2021, leading to an inspection that could not be completed due to access issues, though a subsequent June 2021 inspection did pass.

Most recently, in late 2024, there was a complaint regarding an illegal conversion, which was investigated in January 2025 but resulted in no violations being found at the time of inspection. The building's pattern of heat and water-related complaints over several years warrants attention, particularly given that many of these issues occurred during winter months. While some problems were resolved promptly, with HPD confirming restoration of services in certain instances, the recurring nature of these complaints suggests an ongoing infrastructure challenge.
