94-20 Pitkin Avenue, Queens, NY 11417

At 94-20 Pitkin Avenue in Ozone Park, a two-family house owned by Ronald Williams, several concerning maintenance issues have been documented between 2022 and 2023. The most recent complaints from July 2023 show persistent problems with basic amenities, including plumbing (toilet issues), electrical systems (lighting problems), and appliances (electric/gas range). Notably, multiple complaints from July 2023 indicate various maintenance issues such as unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, along with plumbing problems relating to radiators.

Some July 2023 complaints also involved wall and ceiling paint/plaster issues. Earlier complaints in 2022 centered around heating and hot water problems, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. The building's history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly in the areas of plumbing, electrical systems, and appliance functionality.

While some June 2023 complaints were investigated without violations being found, the more recent complaints indicate a pattern of service requests where inspectors were unable to gain access. It's worth noting that two related complaints regarding illegal conversion were filed in 2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their attempts in both cases. The building, constructed in 1915, has been the subject of multiple housing maintenance code complaints, with the majority classified as either emergency or non-emergency issues, all of which have been closed. The frequency and variety of maintenance requests raise concerns about the building's overall condition and the responsiveness to tenant needs.
