91-40 193rd Street, Queens, NY 11423

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 91-40 193rd Street in Hollis, owned by Christopher Williams and constructed in 2007, has experienced several significant issues in recent months. Most notably, in July 2024, multiple violations were documented by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) including unsanitary conditions related to mold, plumbing problems involving a basin/sink, and multiple paint/plaster issues affecting ceilings and walls.

These violations were addressed within a week of reporting, with some classified as emergency situations. The building received additional violations following an August 2024 inspection, including issues with concrete treads at the front stoop, broken plastered surfaces, safety concerns regarding sprinkler head caps, and various maintenance code violations related to mold and water leaks specifically in the second-floor unit (Apt 2ND FLO). The property has a history of compliance issues dating back to 2018, when multiple complaints were filed regarding possible illegal conversions and commercial use in a residential zone, though access was denied for inspections in these cases.

More recent maintenance history shows attention to safety requirements, with violations noted for missing carbon monoxide detector requirements. However, on a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with no reported cases or eradications in the past six filing periods from 2019 to 2024, indicating effective pest management practices. The most recent inspection and violation corrections were completed by August 2024, including repairs to various surfaces and systems identified in earlier complaints.
