94-25 222nd Street, Queens, NY 11428

The 12-unit residential building at 94-25 222nd Street in Queens Village, owned by Zachariah Johny, has experienced persistent heating and hot water issues throughout 2024-2025, with multiple complaints registered through 311 and HPD from January 2024 through January 2025. These service requests, many marked as emergencies, indicate both apartment-specific and building-wide problems, though inspections often revealed that heat and hot water had been restored by the time of inspection.

The building has an established history of heat-related complaints, with similar issues reported in 2024 and earlier years. In addition to the heating problems, significant violations were documented in February 2024 in Apartment 3, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), and safety concerns related to missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The building's maintenance record shows previous violations requiring attention to public areas, including wall and ceiling repairs in the first-story public hall and issues with fire retardant plaster.

The property has shown periodic bedbug activity, with infestations reported in 2019-2020 and 2020-2021, though recent reports from 2022-2025 indicate zero infested units, suggesting successful remediation. Other past concerns included plumbing issues (February 2024) and an appliance problem in November 2024, with HPD occasionally unable to complete inspections due to access issues. The building's last documented complaint to the Department of Buildings regarding failure to maintain was filed in October 2018, though this was unsubstantiated based on department records.
