109-14 203rd Street, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 109-14 203rd Street in St. Albans, owned by Hollis Partners, LLC, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years, most notably between 2019-2021. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in August 2021, when multiple Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) complaints were filed and subsequently investigated, resulting in several violations including issues with a broken sink cabinet, window pane damage, and concerns over smoke detector functionality.

During this period, there was also a noted problem with visible mold in the bathroom ceiling of Apartment 2, though some violations were eventually closed. Earlier, in November 2019, there was a heat and hot water complaint that was resolved quickly according to tenant reports. The building's maintenance record shows various other issues have been addressed, including repairs to kitchen appliances (such as a gas range) and general upkeep matters like wall plaster and window maintenance, with most complaints being resolved through HPD inspections. More recent violations from the 2021 inspections remain open as of early 2025, including problems with a broken sink cabinet, smoke detector deficiencies, and issues with paint in various rooms.

Notably, a 2018 rodent inspection of the property passed successfully, suggesting that at least one aspect of building maintenance was being properly managed. While many historical maintenance issues appear to have been resolved, the persistence of certain open violations from the 2021 inspection should be acknowledged as a potentially ongoing concern, though without more recent data, it's unclear if these issues have been addressed. The building's age (built in 1948) and two-story configuration are typical for the St. Albans neighborhood, though the reported maintenance issues suggest there have been recurring challenges with building systems and overall upkeep over recent years.
