97-58 108th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 97-58 108th Street in Ozone Park, owned by Vicky Zhang and constructed in 2005, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues over recent years. Of particular concern are the two open Class A Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports, which suggest ongoing compliance issues with building maintenance procedures.

In 2022, multiple significant violations were documented, including scalding hot water issues in Apartment 1, defective self-closing doors in multiple units, and safety concerns involving the removal of illegal double-cylinder locks in Apartments 1 and 3. The building's safety systems have also been a concern, with an open violation from June 2022 related to defective carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2. The property has a notable history of unauthorized modifications, as evidenced by a 2021 Department of Buildings complaint about illegal conversion, alleging that the cellar was converted from ordinary storage to an apartment with kitchen and bathroom facilities.

This complaint was closed with a $2,500 penalty, though records indicate the inspector was unable to gain access during the final inspection attempt. More recently, in July 2023, there was a non-emergency complaint regarding unsanitary garbage/recycling storage, which was closed shortly thereafter. While the building's age suggests it should have modern systems and features, the pattern of maintenance violations and safety concerns indicates ongoing challenges with building upkeep and compliance with housing regulations.
