116-24 Van Wyck Expressway, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family house at 116-24 Van Wyck Expressway in South Ozone Park, owned by Narine Kallimootoo, has experienced several notable maintenance and compliance issues over the past several years. In late 2020, there was a cluster of complaints related to appliances and infrastructure, including issues with an electric/gas range, cooking gas, plumbing (basin/sink), and wall conditions, all of which were recorded as emergency or non-emergency cases by the Housing Maintenance Code.

These complaints remained open during the investigation process, which concluded in January 2021. The building's maintenance history includes a significant Department of Buildings (DOB) environmental control board violation from February 2018, resulting in a $6,000 penalty for failure to comply with a commissioner's order regarding cellar-level conditions, though this violation was subsequently resolved.

Additional historical data shows a DOB construction enforcement complaint from late 2018, where an inspector was unable to gain access during their second final attempt in January 2020. However, the property has shown some positive developments in terms of permitted work, with two permits issued: one in May 2021 for unspecified work (Job #440672345) and another in July 2018 (Job #421599327). While the building has had its share of maintenance and compliance issues, many of the documented problems have been resolved, with no major complaints or violations recorded since early 2021.
