177-47 106th Avenue, Queens, NY 11433

The two-family house at 177-47 106th Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Baloy Roy, has experienced several maintenance and compliance issues since 2021. The most significant concerns relate to the illegal conversion of the cellar space, with multiple violations issued in March 2021 regarding unauthorized living quarters including kitchen and bathroom facilities.

This situation led to an Environmental Control Board violation claiming improper occupancy contrary to building records, though the penalty imposed was $0.00. The building has also faced security and access issues in 2021, with violations related to illegal locking devices on doors and gates, which were subsequently corrected by May 2021. More recent maintenance issues have emerged in 2024, with two separate complaints filed in May regarding window frames and an electric/gas range, though inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development found no violations in these cases.

An emergency heat/hot water complaint from November 2022 could not be verified due to lack of access to the apartment during inspection. The building's history also includes various maintenance issues being addressed, such as plaster and paint repairs needed in both the cellar and Apartment 2, as well as cleanup requirements for the south yard area noted in March 2021. Despite multiple violations and complaints over the years, most have been resolved through proper channels, with the exception of the 2022 heat/hot water complaint where access was not granted for inspection.
