104-16 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11416

This three-story, three-unit residential building at 104-16 101st Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Paldeep Singh and constructed in 1988, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly regarding water-related problems. Most recently, in mid-2025, there were multiple emergency complaints about water leaks (both heavy flow and slow leaks), flooring issues, and radiator problems, though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate these complaints. The property has consistent water-related issues, with a significant cluster of complaints in June 2022 including heavy flow leaks affecting both bathroom and kitchen ceilings, which resulted in multiple housing maintenance violations.

The building is currently facing open violations from 2023-2024 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports and maintain proper building registration signage. Previous inspection records from July 2022 documented various violations in the first-floor apartment, including problems with water leaks, wall damage, and deficiencies in safety equipment like smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The property has also been subject to multiple Department of Buildings investigations, with findings in 2021 related to work done without permits, illegal conversion, and safety concerns involving blocked passageways.

Several ECB violations were imposed in 2021 for various infractions, including failure to maintain proper passageways and work done without permits, though these were subsequently resolved with penalties paid. Historical complaints show a pattern of maintenance issues, including an unsanitary condition related to garbage/recycling storage in 2018. While many past violations have been addressed, the persistence of water-related problems and the current open violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's history includes instances where HPD inspectors could not conduct inspections due to lack of access, particularly in the most recent complaints.
