95-20 Van Wyck Expressway, Queens, NY 11419

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 95-20 Van Wyck Expressway, currently owned by Jarnail Singh, has experienced persistent maintenance issues since its construction in 2005. Most notably, there are significant ongoing concerns regarding unsanitary conditions, with multiple complaints in 2023 alone related to garbage/recycling storage (most recently in September 2023) and pest infestations (July 2023).

The building has multiple open violations, including a 2023 Class B violation regarding inadequate waste disposal facilities, and an open Class A violation from 2024 related to the failure to file an annual bedbug report. Historical data from 2021 reveals a concerning pattern of maintenance issues, including problems with flooring, water leaks, plumbing, and multiple pest complaints. Of particular concern is a serious violation from November 2021 regarding illegal conversion of the cellar space into an unauthorized apartment with bathroom and kitchen facilities, which resulted in an active Environmental Control Board violation with a $12,500 penalty.

This unauthorized use, along with the building's failure to maintain proper garbage disposal systems and respond adequately to bedbug reporting requirements, suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance. More recent inspections from September and October 2023 regarding rodent control also resulted in failures for "Other Reasons," indicating additional pest management issues. While some violations from 2021 were closed within a few days, including an emergency plumbing issue and various non-emergency complaints, the building's recent history shows persistent problems with waste management and pest control that continue to affect resident conditions.
