199-10 Hollis Avenue, Queens, NY 11412

As of July 2025, 199-10 Hollis Avenue is a two-family residence located in St. Albans, built in 1930 and currently owned by Janith Lucas.

The property has experienced significant structural concerns in early 2024, when a violation was issued on February 22 indicating that illegal excavation and underpinning work was conducted on the foundation wall by the adjacent property (199-12), affecting exposure points 2, 3, and 4 in the cellar. This unauthorized work was described as having made the entire building structurally unstable and unsafe for occupancy, and this violation remains active with no recorded disposition as of the current date. In response to these safety concerns, two Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints were filed on February 23, 2024: one related to construction enforcement and another concerning special operations compliance.

While the inspection associated with the construction complaint found no violations at the time, the special operations inspection resulted in a vacate order that was fully rescinded on February 26, 2024. The building's safety status during this period, particularly regarding the active violation related to the foundation issues, warrants attention, though the recent rescission of the vacate order suggests temporary emergency measures were lifted. Since these events occurred almost two years ago, it remains unclear from the available data whether any remedial actions have been taken regarding the active structural violation.
