98-01 197th Street, Queens, NY 11423

The property at 98-01 197th Street in Hollis, owned by Robin Simpson, is a two-family house built in 2003 containing two units. The building has experienced several significant issues since 2020, most notably in 2021 when multiple violations were documented in the 2nd floor apartment (2NDFLO) including mold problems, broken plaster surfaces, and plumbing issues affecting the kitchen sink.

These violations were formally cited and subsequently closed in July 2021, following appropriate repairs. In 2021, there was also a concerning complaint about construction lead dust entering an apartment that remains listed as "In Progress" as of 2023.

The building's recent history includes two documented day care facility complaints in 2022 and 2023, both of which were investigated and closed by the NYC Health Department. More recently, in 2022, there were issues related to construction work at an adjacent building (98-03 197 Street) that affected the subject property, resulting in violations regarding foundation wall damage and water intrusion during ongoing construction work, though these were dismissed in May 2023 after repairs were completed. The property has a history of rodent-related concerns, with a complaint filed in 2020 that was investigated and found to have no violations, though earlier complaints in 2020-2022 suggest ongoing pest management challenges, including a rodent attraction condition complaint in 2020 that was investigated and closed with no violations found.
