191-19 116th Avenue, Queens, NY 11412

The property at 191-19 116th Avenue in St. Albans is a 2-family, 2-story residence built in 1920, currently owned by Anthony Hema. The building experienced significant maintenance issues in March 2022, with multiple emergency complaints filed through 311 regarding window frame defects, mold, water leaks, and heating/hot water problems, particularly affecting the second floor apartment.

While most of these complaints were resolved without violations, a water leak issue did result in violations requiring correction. Building inspections on March 13, 2022, revealed two Class C violations that were subsequently certified as corrected: one regarding plastered surfaces and ceiling paint in the second-floor apartment, and another concerning roof leaks affecting the same area. An interesting development occurred in March 2022, with two complaints regarding illegal conversion of the basement, though these complaints were marked as "Unable To Gain Access" during a January 2023 inspection.

As of the current date, July 2025, there are two open Class B violations from the March 2022 inspection: one related to improper use of the attic for sleeping, and another concerning a defective window frame at the attic's east wall. These violations, along with the building's history of water and heating issues, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property's violation history indicates relatively prompt attention to most issues, with several violations being closed within weeks of their issuance, though the open violations from 2022 remain notable.
