97-27 116th Street, Queens, NY 11419

The two-family home at 97-27 116th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Chetram Chanilall, is a 2-story brick building constructed in 1910. The property has experienced recurring issues with heating systems, most recently with a building-wide heat and hot water outage in October 2024, though these services were reportedly restored during the inspection process.

This is not the first heating problem for the building; a separate heat and hot water complaint in 2018 also required HPD intervention. The building has faced multiple sanitation challenges over recent years, particularly in 2024 when there were two separate complaints regarding unsanitary conditions related to dogs, though inspections did not result in any violations.

In August 2021, there were three separate complaints about pest-related issues, all of which were investigated by HPD and found to have no violations, with one of these cases classified as an emergency. The property has also been subject to rodent-related concerns; while a rodent complaint in 2021 could not be inspected due to access issues, an inspection conducted in October 2024 resulted in a passing grade. Despite these recurring issues, it is worth noting that all complaints, whether emergency or non-emergency, have been officially closed in the system.
