133-05 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11419

The property at 133-05 101st Avenue in Richmond Hill, currently owned by Wahid Hoosein, is a two-family house built in 1920 that has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent months. Between August and September 2024, there were multiple troubling incidents reported, including electrical problems (wiring issues and a power outage), sewage problems, and pest infestations, all of which were categorized as either emergency or non-emergency situations.

HPD inspectors were repeatedly unable to gain access to conduct necessary inspections for many of these complaints, leading to their closure without resolution. The building currently has open violations from August 2024, including illegal use of rooms for living, improper plumbing fixtures in the cellar, an unlawful cooking space with an electric range in the cellar, and illegal conversion from a private dwelling to a multiple dwelling. A separate Department of Buildings complaint regarding illegal conversion was also documented in August 2024, with inspection attempts continuing into June 2025, though access was again not granted.

While there have been some resolved issues, such as sewage and appliance concerns in August 2024 that were inspected with no violations found, the persistent pattern of access issues during inspections raises concerns about the building's response to regulatory oversight. The most recent interactions with housing authorities have primarily been about access issues rather than direct resolutions of the underlying problems. The building's violation history suggests significant concerns about unlawful modifications and occupancy status, though these issues may be under review pending the wait for necessary access during inspection attempts.
