95-10 218th Street, Queens, NY 11429

The 68-unit, 9-story residential building at 95-10 218th Street in Queens Village, owned by Amritpal Sandhu, has experienced several significant issues since its construction in 2020. Most notably, there have been ongoing problems with heating and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed through HPD in 2024, including three instances in October 2024 alone, though inspections were either incomplete or the issues were reported as duplicates. The building has also faced recurring elevator service problems, with eight complaints filed between 2022 and 2024 regarding single device operation and lack of alternate service, resulting in several Oath Violations being served.

Additionally, the property has had multiple violations related to external low-pressure inspections, with six separate incidents recorded between 2018 and 2023, though most were ultimately dismissed. Two semi-annual homeless shelter inspections were conducted in 2024, one related to construction and the other to plumbing, with no violations found at the time of inspection. The building's records also show recent compliance issues regarding energy use reporting, including an active violation from October 2023 for failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation, along with a previously dismissed violation from May 2024 for failure to file a benchmarking report.

The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices regarding building systems and maintenance requirements, though many violations from 2021-2024 appear to have been resolved or dismissed through proper remediation or documentation. While the building, constructed in 2020, has generally met inspection requirements for basic safety and maintenance, the recurring nature of heating, water, and elevator service issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems management. The most recent heating system complaint from October 2024, which resulted in an incomplete HPD inspection, indicates that some building system issues remain unresolved as of late 2024.
