97-04 97th Avenue is a 2-story, 6-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1931 and currently owned by Howard Grate. The property has a concerning pattern of unresolved housing maintenance code violations, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements, with annual violations recorded in 2022, 2023, and most recently in 2024, indicating ongoing noncompliance with HPD regulations.
The building has multiple open violations from February 2022 that relate to various safety and maintenance issues: these include problems with rooftop ventilation, an improper roof access door lock mechanism, a concerning front entrance door self-closing mechanism, and several notification requirements not being met.
