216-25 111th Avenue, Queens, NY 11429

The two-family house at 216-25 111th Avenue in Queens Village, owned by Bah Sajo, has experienced numerous maintenance issues since 2022, with the most pressing being recurring water leak problems. In late 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heavy water flow issues, though HPD was unable to complete inspections in response to these complaints.

The building's maintenance history reveals persistent challenges, including a period of rodent infestation in 2022-2023, with violations recorded under both the Housing Maintenance Code and Department of Health and Mental Hygiene. Various appliance-related issues have also been documented, including problems with a refrigerator and electric/gas range.

The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violation notices, particularly following a November 2022 inspection that identified numerous issues requiring attention, such as broken doors, defective cabinets, and the need for painting in various apartments. While some of these violations are marked as open in the records, a rodent inspection in May 2024 passed compliance standards, suggesting some improvement in pest control. The building's age (built in 1920) and its documented history of water-related problems, heating issues, and general maintenance concerns indicate ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance responsiveness, as evidenced by multiple instances where inspection access was not granted during HPD visits.
