114-04 199th Street, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 114-04 199th Street in St. Albans, owned by Inwood Home LLC, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly evident in March 2024.

The building, constructed in 1945, had multiple emergency complaints filed in March 2024, including problems with mold, heavy water leaks, electrical lighting issues, and plumbing concerns involving sink facilities. Non-emergency complaints during the same period involved flooring problems and wall paint/plaster issues. Following these complaints, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued violations that remain open as of October 2023, specifically concerning broken ceramic floor tiles in Apartment 2's kitchen, roof leaks affecting the entrance ceiling, defective window sash operations in the bathroom, problematic sink drain pipe connections in the kitchen, and inadequate electrical service to bathroom fixtures.

The building's maintenance history includes a heat and hot water complaint from October 2019 that could not be inspected due to lack of access. In addition to the recent violations, there are concerning patterns from earlier years, including rodent control inspections between 2014 and 2016, all of which resulted in failures for "Other Reasons." A recent illegal conversion complaint was filed in March 2024, but access for inspection was denied, with a second attempt also yielding no access in October 2024. While some complaints have been resolved as per HPD's records, the persistence of certain violations and issues requiring ongoing attention is notable, with the most recent inspection in 2024 resulting in multiple open violations regarding essential building systems and components.
