128-40 150th Street, Queens, NY 11436

The two-family house at 128-40 150th Street in South Ozone Park, currently owned by Minu Homes Inc, was constructed in 1920 and spans two stories. The building has a concerning history of illegal conversion activity, with multiple complaints lodged between 2021 and 2025 suggesting unauthorized modifications to create additional living units, particularly in the cellar space.

Most recently, in 2023, two active violations were issued regarding unpermitted construction work creating two rooms with bathroom facilities, kitchen utilities, and electrical wiring, as well as converting the residence from a two-family to a three-family dwelling. Previous inspection records from 2013 reveal significant maintenance and safety concerns in the first-floor apartment, including violations related to a lack of hot water, electrical service issues, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and problems with plumbing fixtures. The apartment also experienced pest infestations, with documented incidents of Mice and Roaches requiring remediation.

Recent inspection activity in 2025, including complaints about zoning non-conformance and illegal conversion, suggest ongoing regulatory scrutiny of the property. While some historical violations have been closed, the persistent pattern of building code violations and illegal conversion complaints over the past several years indicates a continuing challenge with unauthorized modifications and maintenance compliance at this address. The most recent complaints from 2024-2025 were either resolved with no violations found upon inspection or resulted in closed status, though one complaint from 2022-2023 did generate a Request for Corrective Action that was reportedly not corrected.
