220-05 Merrick Boulevard, Queens, NY 11413

The two-family house at 220-05 Merrick Boulevard in Laurelton, currently owned by Narendra Patel, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in November 2022, there was a documented heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though this was reportedly resolved within a week of the complaint.

The property also faced multiple interconnected problems in February 2019, when several emergency complaints were filed regarding water-related issues, including heavy flow leaks and damp spots, as well as a mold-related unsanitary condition. While these complaints were officially closed in April 2019, they were marked by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development's inability to gain access for inspection. A separate door/window issue from the same period also fell victim to access-related inspection difficulties.

Additionally, a plumbing complaint was recorded in March 2019, with inspectors again unable to access the premises for evaluation. On a more positive note, there have been no significant complaints or issues reported in recent years, and the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with the most recent report from April 2025 showing no cases between November 2023 and October 2024. The property, built in 1920, consists of two stories and two units, and while it has experienced notable maintenance challenges in the past, particularly in 2019 and 2022, there have been no recorded emergency complaints in this building for over three years as of July 2025.
