117-49 122nd Place, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family house at 117-49 122nd Place in South Ozone Park, owned by Montgomery Sooknanan, was built in 1950 and has experienced several maintenance issues over the past year. Most notably, there have been multiple plumbing-related problems, including two sink issues (one in January and another in July 2023), a bathtub/shower issue from January 2023, and two water leak incidents (a slow leak in January and a heavy flow in September 2023).

There have also been multiple door-related problems, with violations recorded in July 2023 and a window frame issue from January 2023. Additional concerns reported include appliance problems with an electric/gas range (January and July 2023), unsanitary conditions related to pests (January 2023), and various other maintenance issues such as ceiling plaster problems and an electrical outlet/switch issue, all from January 2023. The building has a documented history of access issues, with multiple complaints from early 2023 where the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions, including concerning heat/hot water problems.

While some complaints were resolved without violations being issued, others resulted in violations that require monitoring through the HPD website. It's worth noting that the most recent water leak complaint from September 2023 was categorized as an emergency, though no violations were issued following the inspection. The property has generally experienced a pattern of plumbing and water-related issues throughout 2023, along with various other maintenance concerns that appear to require ongoing attention.
