202-08 109th Avenue, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 202-08 109th Avenue in St. Albans, owned by Shirin Golian, has experienced persistent and concerning issues over the past year and a half, particularly related to heat and water systems. Most notably, from December 2024 through January 2025, there were multiple emergency heat/hot water complaints filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), some of which resulted in inspections being unable to gain access to verify conditions. The building is currently undergoing scrutiny for safety compliance, with several open violations as of July 2025, including missing carbon monoxide detectors and water leak issues in the bathroom of Apartment 1.

The property has also faced various maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple HPD complaints in 2024-2025 regarding heating issues, water leaks, and problems with plumbing and interior surfaces. Earlier building history reveals a more troubling maintenance record, with open Housing Maintenance Code violations from August 2024 affecting Apartment 1st Floor, including issues with electrical outlets, kitchen floors, and evidence of cockroach infestation. While some of these violations were documented as addressed through subsequent inspections, the presence of open violations as of July 2025 suggests ongoing maintenance concerns. In terms of rodent control, the building failed an inspection in July 2022, though it passed a subsequent inspection in September 2020.

The property's recent history is marked primarily by heating system challenges, with eight emergency heat/hot water complaints filed between December 2024 and January 2025 that reached various conclusions regarding their resolution status. The building's documented issues reflect a pattern of maintenance challenges that may impact resident comfort and safety, particularly regarding heating systems, water infrastructure, and basic safety equipment like carbon monoxide detectors. The age of the building (1948) may contribute to some of these persistent maintenance issues, though specific renovations or updates to the systems in question are not documented in the available records. While some complaints have been investigated and closed without finding violations, the frequency of heating-related issues and the presence of multiple open violations as of 2025 suggest ongoing concerns that affect both units in this two-family residence.
