133-20 126th Street, Queens, NY 11420

This two-family residence at 133-20 126th Street in South Ozone Park is a two-story, 1920-built property currently owned by Nashad Shaffie. The building's most significant recent issues occurred in early 2019 when multiple complaints were filed regarding lack of heat and hot water throughout the entire building, though inspection attempts were unsuccessful as HPD was unable to gain access for verification. A cluster of Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints in 2022 raised safety concerns, including defective/exposed electrical wiring and construction-related site conditions endangering workers, though in one case inspectors were again unable to gain access for evaluation.

The property has faced several construction-related violations, with a notable cluster in September 2021 that included failures to maintain proper construction safety measures, though these were subsequently resolved with penalties totaling $25,500 that appear to have been paid. A 2019 zoning violation was documented regarding non-conforming usage, and an earlier complaint from 2020 raised permit-related questions, while a 2021 parking violation was also recorded involving unlicensed vehicles. The building's historical records show persistent challenges with accessing units for inspections, as evidenced by multiple instances where inspectors were unable to enter the premises to verify reported issues.

The property has undergone various alterations and maintenance activities over the years, as indicated by multiple construction-related complaints and inspections. While many violations have been resolved, both through compliance and payment of penalties, the pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges, particularly related to construction activities and building systems. The year 2022 appears to be a particularly notable period for building-related complaints and violations, including safety concerns and work stoppage orders.
