91-39 219th Street, Queens, NY 11428

This two-family home at 91-39 219th Street in Queens Village, owned by Michael Ramnarain, has experienced several significant maintenance issues and regulatory concerns in recent years, particularly in early 2024. The most pressing problems occurred in March 2024, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and violations issued for conditions including mold (reported twice), plumbing problems affecting sinks and radiators, flooring issues, ceiling damage requiring attention, and concerns with window frames.

Additionally, between February and March 2024, there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions, specifically mold, which were all resolved with violations. The building has a documented history of illegal conversion concerns, with several complaints filed between January and February 2024 regarding unauthorized occupancy in the attic, which is designated as unfinished space according to the Certificate of Occupancy.

This particular violation, recorded on February 5, 2024, noted the presence of a bed, mattress, and space heater in the attic, though it was subsequently dismissed on the grounds of being properly addressed during inspection. Other illegal conversion complaints from 2024 and a previous one from 2019 also indicate ongoing compliance issues, though some were resolved with corrective action or vacate orders that were later rescinded. While the building has maintained basic compliance with most housing codes, the cluster of violations and emergency complaints in early 2024 suggests a period of significant maintenance challenges, particularly regarding plumbing systems and mold issues.
