124-20 135th Place, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family house at 124-20 135th Place in South Ozone Park, owned by Eric Moore, has exhibited recurring issues with essential services and regulatory compliance since 2019. The building, constructed in 1920, has faced multiple heat and hot water service disruptions, with four documented complaints in late 2019, one in early 2020, and another in February 2022, though in most cases, heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspections could confirm the original complaints.

Water supply and plumbing issues were reported in 2019 and 2020, with one inspection in 2020 not granted access to confirm the conditions. The building has also experienced sanitation concerns regarding garbage and recycling storage in September 2020, which did not result in any violations. From a regulatory perspective, there have been significant concerns about potential illegal conversions and occupancy issues in 2020, with two separate complaints about illegal conversion filed in July and September 2020, resulting in an Oath violation being served.

Additionally, the Certificate of Occupancy was questioned in November 2021, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. Most recently, in August 2023, there was a complaint about the building being vacant, open, and unguarded, but this was ultimately closed in February 2024 with no violations warranting further action. While many of these issues have been resolved or closed without violations, the frequency of service interruptions, particularly regarding heat and hot water, suggests ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
