114-33 194th Street, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 114-33 194th Street in St. Albans, built in 1930, has experienced significant safety and code compliance issues in recent months, particularly during the winter of 2024-2025. The property has ongoing Environmental Control Board violations related to multiple heating system safety concerns, including elevated carbon monoxide levels from various boilers and water heaters, with associated penalties totaling $25,250.

These violations require the immediate cessation of equipment use until hazardous conditions are corrected and verified by DOB. A substantial over-occupancy situation has been documented, with records indicating the building, originally designed for two families, is currently occupied by seven families across multiple floors and the cellar, along with unauthorized modifications including additional bathrooms and electrical systems. The building has also faced numerous access issues for inspections, with multiple complaints about heating, hot water, and appliance problems between January and May 2025, as well as concerns about carbon monoxide detectors.

These complaints remain unresolved due to inspectors' inability to gain access to the premises, despite multiple inspection attempts. Prior to these recent issues, the property received three Department of Buildings complaints in December 2024 regarding various code violations, including problems with construction, egress, and boiler systems. The current owner, 114-33 94 St Albans LLC, acquired the property as a two-family house, but records indicate significant unauthorized alterations and occupancy over the legal limit, along with recurring maintenance and safety violations.
