147-16 97th Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The eight-story building at 147-16 97th Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Surjeet Kaur, was completed in 2020 and has experienced several notable incidents since its construction. Most recently, in June 2025, there was an electric power outage classified as an immediate emergency.

Prior to this, the building faced a significant heating/hot water emergency affecting the entire building in April 2022. Throughout its history, the building has accumulated multiple violations related to energy benchmarking requirements, with the most recent being dismissed violations in 2024 for failure to file required energy use reports between February and August, and also for not displaying the energy efficiency score and grade in December 2023, which was subsequently dismissed in January 2024. During the construction phase and immediately after, the building encountered several inspection issues including a COVID-19 Executive Order violation in May 2020, construction safety compliance actions, and complaints about building shaking in May 2020.

Multiple inspections were conducted in 2020 through 2021, though most complaints were found to warrant no violations at the time of inspection. The building's bedbug reporting records for the periods 2022-2023 and 2023-2024 show no infestations, with zero units affected or requiring eradication during these periods, indicating successful pest management. The property has been diligent in addressing violations though many were dismissed, as evidenced by the pattern of paying associated invoices, suggesting compliance with rectifying the issues raised.
