87-15 214th Street, Queens, NY 11427

The two-family house at 87-15 214th Street in Queens Village, owned by Kim Yogendra, is a 2-story residential building with 14 units constructed in 1949. The property has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues over the past several years, with nine documented complaints between late 2021 and early 2023, including both building-wide and apartment-specific problems. Most recently, in February 2023, there was a building-wide heat and hot water issue that was reportedly resolved.

The building has also faced several maintenance challenges, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations from 2012-2013 still active, including issues related to carbon monoxide detection, smoke detectors, water leaks, and plaster/paint defects in apartment 214 and unit S. An April 2021 inspection revealed a problem with refuse accumulation in the front yard area. The property's recent maintenance record shows no reported bedbug infestations during the 2023-2024 filing period and passed a rodent inspection in October 2020.

There was a complaint regarding illegal hotel rooms in residential buildings in November 2022, but no violations were found upon inspection. Multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations have been issued over the years, including issues with security, water leaks, and smoke detector requirements. While many heat and hot water complaints have been resolved, the recurring nature of these issues suggests ongoing system challenges. The building's maintenance history indicates periods of deferred maintenance, particularly evident in the open violations from 2012-2013 affecting unit 214 and unit S, which include multiple safety and habitability concerns that remain unresolved as of October 2023.
