202-04 Hollis Avenue, Queens, NY 11412

The two-story, 20-unit building at 202-04 Hollis Avenue in St. Albans, owned by Daniel Turkel and constructed in 1949, has experienced several notable maintenance issues in recent years, particularly in the last six months. Most significantly, in October 2023, multiple violations were documented related to mold, plumbing, and ceiling conditions in Apartment A8, including visible mold in the bathroom ceiling, problems with kitchen pipes, and defective plastered surfaces.

Earlier maintenance history from 2023 shows recurring plumbing issues, particularly with sink basins, as well as problems with doors and windows, though inspections in January 2023 resulted in no violations being issued for these complaints. The building's documented history also includes some administrative issues, such as a violation in June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2021 external low-pressure inspection, though this was dismissed in November 2024. Interestingly, the property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past several years, with all annual reporting periods showing zero infested, eradicated, or re-infested units from 2019 through June 2025.

While the building has experienced various maintenance issues, particularly in 2023, the consistent absence of bedbug problems may indicate effective pest management practices. The most recent violations from October 2023 were classified as both emergency (mold and ceiling) and non-emergency (plumbing) issues, though the lack of serious violations in earlier complaints suggests variable maintenance responsiveness. While the building has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly in the last year, it has generally adhered to bedbug reporting requirements and maintained appropriate documentation in recent years.
