117-10 195th Street, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family residence at 117-10 195th Street in St. Albans, owned by Jamila Lewis-byssainthe, was constructed in 2007 and has experienced recurring issues with essential services over the past few years. Most recently, in January 2024, there were complaints regarding both heating/hot water issues and cooking gas problems, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) unable to gain access to investigate the reported conditions.

These complaints were processed as emergencies and closed at the end of January 2024. Prior to this, in December 2021, there was another heat/hot water complaint, though HPD was informed by a tenant that these services had been restored during their response. Similar to the 2024 incidents, HPD's investigation in 2021 was hindered by access issues, and this complaint was subsequently closed.

The building's documented history suggests recurring challenges with critical building systems, particularly regarding heating and hot water availability. The most recent incidents in 2024, occurring at the beginning of the year, indicate ongoing concerns with basic infrastructure, as evidenced by the emergency designation of the complaints related to cooking gas and heat/hot water issues. While all these complaints have been officially closed, the pattern of service-related issues over this relatively short period raises potential concerns about the building's infrastructure maintenance and resident comfort.
