118-29 198th Street, Queens, NY 11412

This two-family home at 118-29 198th Street in St. Albans, owned by Rasheed Ali, was constructed in 1950 and has two stories.

The most notable incident on record occurred in August 2022, when multiple complaints regarding stair conditions were filed with the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and the Housing Maintenance Code, specifically citing flooring and stair safety concerns. These complaints were promptly investigated and closed within one to two days, with inspectors finding no violations related to the reported conditions. More recently, in early 2023, there was a significant complaint filed with the Department of Buildings regarding an alleged illegal conversion at the property on February 18, 2023.

However, this inspection was marked by access denial on the inspector's second attempt to gain entry, and no determination regarding the alleged conversion was able to be completed. While the complaint was officially closed, the lack of access and resulting inability to verify the stated condition leaves some uncertainty about the building's current configuration. This two-family structure has otherwise maintained a relatively clean record, with no other major incidents or violations documented in recent years.
