100-21 197th Street, Queens, NY 11423

The property at 100-21 197th Street in Hollis is a 2-family house built in 1925, currently owned by Wendell Dunn. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in late 2021, there were complaints regarding heating and hot water issues in an apartment, which were resolved the following day through HPD intervention.

Earlier in 2021, there was a sewage-related unsanitary condition complaint that was investigated but no violations were found. The summer of 2019 was particularly problematic, with multiple emergency complaints filed within a short period, including issues with plumbing (water supply problems and sink issues), window panes, mold, and various unsanitary conditions. There were also two non-emergency complaints during this time regarding ceiling paint/plaster issues and pest problems.

The most recent significant building-related event occurred in May 2023, when a complaint was filed regarding illegal commercial/manufacturing use in a residential zone. However, upon inspection in September 2024, no violations were found. While many of these issues have been addressed and closed out, the frequency and variety of problems reported between 2019 and 2021 suggest there were ongoing maintenance challenges during that period. The building's documented history shows particular vulnerabilities in plumbing, heating systems, and general maintenance, though more recent complaints have not been as numerous or severe.
