197-19 Hollis Avenue, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 197-19 Hollis Avenue in St. Albans, built in 1940 and currently owned by Khokoh Chowdhury, has experienced several significant construction-related events over recent years. Most notably, between 2018 and 2020, there were multiple complaints and enforcement actions regarding unauthorized construction work and permit violations.

A series of complaints filed in 2018 included issues with permit compliance and construction work beyond approved plans, though inspections did not warrant violations in these cases. A more serious incident occurred in August 2019, when a stop work order was issued due to withdrawal of the construction superintendent, though this was fully rescinded shortly thereafter. Environmental concerns were documented in October 2018, when the property received an ECB violation for inadequate housekeeping, with reports of excessive household debris in both the front driveway and rear yard, including old furniture and various waste materials, though this violation was resolved with no penalties imposed.

In terms of permits, the property has had several issued between late 2018 and 2021, with the most recent being a permit issued in June 2021. The building experienced multiple construction enforcement actions and complaints regarding work being done without proper permits, though in each case investigated, inspectors found no violations warranting enforcement action at the time of their visits. The history of complaints and violations suggests an ongoing pattern of construction-related issues and regulatory compliance challenges between 2018 and 2019, with these concerns appearing to have subsided following the issuance of new permits in 2021. Since October 2023, there have been no recorded complaints or violations within the available dataset for the property.
