106-02 109th Avenue, Queens, NY 11417

The two-family residential building at 106-02 109th Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Bimal Narine, has experienced notable heating system challenges in early 2025, with two Emergency Heat/Hot Water complaints filed in January and February. The January incident, affecting the entire building, resulted in an inspection where HPD could not gain access to the premises, while the February complaint was investigated but found no violations of housing laws.

Prior to these heating issues, the building underwent some regulatory scrutiny in late 2022, with three separate complaints filed in October - including concerns about building vacancy and maintenance issues - though inspections ultimately resulted in no violations, except for one instance where an Oath violation was served. A December 2022 permit-related complaint was also investigated with no violations noted.

The building, constructed in 1930, is a two-story structure that has endured recurring heating system problems in early 2025, which appears to be the most significant ongoing issue. The relatively quick resolution of the December 2022 complaints and the fact that no violations were found during those inspections suggests that while the building has experienced some maintenance-related scrutiny, the management has generally addressed concerns as they arise. The heating system problems of early 2025, particularly their frequency and the initial difficulties in gaining access for inspection, may warrant attention from prospective tenants regarding building infrastructure.
