134-37 Sitka Street, Queens, NY 11417

The 2-family house at 134-37 Sitka Street in Ozone Park, built in 1960 and currently owned by Pooran Balgobind, has experienced recurring plumbing and maintenance issues over the past two years. In April 2023, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by various agencies, including the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH), covering concerns such as rodent issues, plumbing problems with sinks, heavy water leaks, mold, pest infestations, and flooring concerns.

All of these complaints were investigated, but no violations were found in any of the inspections. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple emergency complaints about heavy flow water leaks filed in both late 2022 and early 2023.

Other maintenance issues have included concerns about unsanitary conditions, pests, mold, wall conditions, and flooring problems, though notably, no violations were issued following inspections of these complaints. Additionally, there was a complaint about an alleged illegal conversion in April 2023, which was inspected on June 7, 2023, but the investigators found "No Violation Warranted For Complaint At Time Of Inspection." While the building has faced significant maintenance challenges, particularly regarding water and sanitation issues, it is worth noting that all complaints have been officially closed with no violations imposed on the property.
