134-05 Hawtree Street, Queens, NY 11417

This two-family house at 134-05 Hawtree Street in Ozone Park, built in 1920 and currently owned by Mirza Feliciano, has experienced recurring heating system issues over the past few years. The most significant concerns occurred during late 2022 through February 2023, when multiple complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued violations after investigating some of these complaints, though they faced access challenges during several inspection attempts. The building's heating system continued to be problematic in February 2023, when another heat/hot water complaint was made and subsequently closed with confirmation that services had been restored.

Additional maintenance issues were recorded in 2022, including violations related to paint and plaster conditions in May, and separate plumbing and wall repair requests in June. Two significant complaints were filed with the Department of Buildings in late 2022: one regarding an inoperative boiler in December (though inspectors were unable to gain access for a final inspection), and another concerning illegal conversion in August, which also faced access issues for final inspection attempts in January 2023. While some maintenance requests were resolved without violations, including a November 2022 heating complaint, the pattern of heating system-related problems suggests this has been a persistent concern for building residents.
