114-04 204th Street, Queens, NY 11412

The property at 114-04 204th Street in St. Albans, a two-family house built in 1945 and currently owned by Linnsay Castillo, has experienced significant recent regulatory scrutiny, particularly in 2022. The most pressing issues concern unauthorized modifications to the building's structure and use, with multiple complaints and violations related to an illegal conversion of the cellar space.

In August 2022, three separate complaints were filed regarding illegal conversion, with two resulting in a Partial Vacate Order being served, and one leading to buildings violations. These violations documented unauthorized construction work in the cellar, including the installation of full-height partition walls, electrical wiring for lights and outlets, water and waste lines for bathroom facilities, and the conversion of space for kitchen use, including a stove installation. The violations also noted the removal of a garage door and installation of a brick masonry wall.

More recently, in June 2025, additional enforcement actions were taken, with records indicating an Oath Violation related to the illegal conversion. While some complaints from 2022 regarding construction enforcement were investigated (one on August 25 and another on August 26), these inspections revealed no violations warranting further action. As of the most recent information available through October 2023, the property has active violations from August 25, 2022, regarding both the illegal conversion and unauthorized construction work, though the company provided no specific comments on the disposition. These ongoing violations highlight persistent safety and regulatory compliance concerns with the building's current use and modifications.
