91-59 191st Street, Queens, NY 11423

91-59 191st Street is a 6-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building located in Hollis, Queens, built in 1928 and currently owned by Kenneth Subraj. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout 2024 and into 2025, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2024 and February 2025, including an open heat/hot water complaint as of February 2025. These heating system problems appear to be an ongoing challenge for the building.

In December 2024, significant violations were documented in apartment 1B, including pest infestations (roaches and mice), interior maintenance issues, and safety concerns regarding self-closing doors and carbon monoxide detection devices. The building has also faced challenges with its elevator system, as evidenced by multiple complaints from 2018 to 2025 about single-device service without alternate options. The property has several active and recent violations from the Department of Buildings, including a June 2023 violation for failure to file external low-pressure inspection records.

There is also a historical pattern of energy-related violations, particularly concerning benchmarking report submissions between 2021 and 2023, though these were dismissed upon confirmation of submission. Environmental inspections from 2018 showed a curb cut was created without proper permitting, resulting in a $500 penalty. While the building's bedbug reporting history from 2018 to present shows zero infestation cases, rodent inspections in 2022 resulted in failed compliance inspections for "Other Reasons." The current situation suggests ongoing maintenance and infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding heating systems, elevator service continuity, and prompt addressing of resident complaints.
