197-17 100th Avenue, Queens, NY 11423

The two-family house at 197-17 100th Avenue in Hollis, owned by Mohammed Ali, has experienced several significant issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) complaint regarding indoor air quality with dust from construction, though this was promptly addressed with an advisory to the property management.

Of particular concern is an active Department of Buildings violation from July 2024 regarding the potential revocation of permit and approvals due to the suspension of the master plumber's license, which has resulted in an immediate stop-work order for all plumbing work related to job #421542183. The building's recent history shows a pattern of access denial to inspectors, with multiple complaints in 2019 and 2023 regarding illegal conversions and unauthorized commercial use being marked as "Access Denied – 2nd Attempt." An environmental control board violation from January 2018 shows the owner failed to comply with a commissioner's order at the cellar level, which resulted in a $2,400 penalty. The property has undergone various permit issuances in 2024, including plumbing-related permits in March, December, and another permit issuance at the end of December 2024.

A plumbing-related complaint from July 2024 indicates some ongoing maintenance issues, though this appears to be the most recent violation on record related to building systems. The building's documented history shows recurring issues with unauthorized modifications and plumbing-related problems, though the most recent permits suggest some attempts at addressing these issues. The combination of access denial to inspectors and multiple building system-related complaints over the years indicates potential challenges with building maintenance and regulatory compliance.
