94-17 108th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The three-story residential building at 94-17 108th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Gurdial Soorjpersaud, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water services in recent months. Most notably, in October 2024, there were significant complaints regarding the lack of heat and hot water, which were classified as emergency situations by both HPD and the Housing Maintenance Code Complaints system.

Though these complaints were officially closed after heat and hot water were reportedly restored during the inspection process, the recurrence of such fundamental building system failures raises concerns about the building's maintenance and infrastructure reliability. In the more distant past, there was a Department of Buildings complaint recorded in November 2023 regarding a sweep incident (complaint number 4944043) on 11419, which was investigated and found to have no violations at the time of inspection.

While this complaint was resolved without recorded violations, it occurred within a broader context of building age and maintenance history, as the structure was built in 1920 and is classified as a HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A building with three units. The recent pattern of heat and hot water issues, occurring in October 2024, appears to be the most significant concern on record, given the fundamental nature of these building systems to resident comfort and safety.
