199-22 Hollis Avenue, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 199-22 Hollis Avenue in St. Albans, owned by Mitchell Slavuter, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most recent incidents occurring in 2024-2025. Notably, there were two serious food-related incidents in 2024, including a closed food poisoning case and a complaint regarding bare hands in contact with food.

The building has faced recurring heat and hot water issues, with emergency complaints filed in both February and December 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the problems. Multiple violations were documented in 2022, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (2F), including issues with gas supply to the kitchen range, hot water availability, various maintenance problems such as broken lock assembly, defective plaster surfaces, loose handrails, missing ceramic tiles, and roof leaks. The building experienced electrical problems, including a power outage in September 2022, and various plumbing issues such as water leaks and toilet problems.

The property has an open violation concerning gas supply and hot water issues in Apartment 2F as of September 2022, which have not been certified as resolved. Several building-wide improvements appear to have been addressed through permits issued in 2018-2019, though the specifics of these permits are not detailed in the records. While many of the documented violations were closed after inspection, indicating some level of remediation, the persistence of certain issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent housing maintenance issues prior to 2024-2025 were primarily concentrated in the second-floor apartment, with a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints across various categories including electrical, plumbing, and general maintenance concerns.
