132-01 131st Avenue, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family house at 132-01 131st Avenue in South Ozone Park, owned by Eric Moore, has experienced persistent maintenance and safety issues since at least 2018. The property, built in 1925, is currently facing challenges with rodent control, having failed multiple inspections between 2019 and 2025, with the most recent failure recorded in July 2025.

The building has also faced significant heating and water supply problems, most notably in January 2020 when multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water, affecting the entire building and individual apartments. These complaints coincided with several Housing Maintenance Code violations, including water-related issues in the cellar and multiple open violations in Apartment 1 regarding electrical outlets, water leaks, plaster surfaces, and heating problems. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of unresolved issues, with open violations remaining on record as of the latest inspection data.

These include problems with electrical outlets, water leaks, and heating systems in Apartment 1. Previous inspections in 2018 had documented infrastructure concerns in Apartment 1, including water leak issues in the bathroom, waste line defects, and the absence of an operational carbon monoxide detecting device. The property appears to have ongoing structural and maintenance challenges, particularly regarding basic utilities and pest control, as evidenced by the repeated failures to address rodent issues and various housing code violations over multiple years.
