94-17 199th Street, Queens, NY 11423

This two-story, three-unit residential building located at 94-17 199th Street in Hollis, owned by Mohammad Rahman, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there were serious structural concerns in 2021 when multiple complaints about building shaking and stability were reported, particularly regarding the rear second-floor terrace which was found to have severely sagging wood joists, cracked concrete, and inadequate support for metal stairs. These issues prompted emergency work orders and led to the building's owner being required to install temporary shoring.

The property has also faced recurring heating and hot water problems, with multiple emergency complaints logged in both 2018 and 2021, some of which were eventually resolved but not without tenant intervention. Additionally, the building has experienced ongoing pest control challenges, with multiple violations related to rodent infestations between 2018 and 2021, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment. Other documented issues include various maintenance violations such as problems with walls (including plaster and paint issues), windows, stairs, and balconies.

While some of these violations have been officially dismissed or marked as resolved, three Class B violations from March 2021 related to pest control and maintenance issues currently show as open. The building's compliance history also includes a pattern of unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding garbage storage, noted in both 2018 and 2020. Although the Department of Buildings conducted multiple inspections and issued various citations during 2021, many of these violations were ultimately dismissed following repairs and proper documentation by the owner.
