202-20 109th Avenue, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 202-20 109th Avenue in St. Albans, owned by Shirin Golian, has experienced recurring maintenance and sanitation challenges since 2012, with the most significant issues occurring recently in 2025. Most pressing are the current rodent problems, with inspections in April 2025 confirming rat activity, and a simultaneous unsanitary condition complaint regarding garbage/recycling storage that resulted in violations being issued by HPD.

The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with emergency complaints regarding lack of heat/hot water for the entire building in November 2022 and for individual apartments in April 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The property has also faced pest-related challenges, with an August 2022 unsanitary condition complaint involving pests and multiple rodent inspections showing variable results between 2018 and 2025, including recent rat activity in April 2025 and September 2024 inspections. Other maintenance issues have been relatively minor, such as a refrigerator problem in August 2021 that was inspected with no violations found.

The building's inspection history shows a pattern of recurring sanitation and maintenance issues, particularly involving heat systems and rodent control. While some complaints have been resolved through inspections and corrective actions, including a pest-related issue in 2022, the persistence of similar problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The property has passed some rodent inspections, though the most recent inspections in 2024 and 2025 indicate continuing rat activity. A professional certification compliance audit in 2018 resulted in no violations being warranted at the time of inspection.
