138-91 Francis Lewis Blvd, Queens, NY 11422

The property at 138-91 Francis Lewis Blvd is a 2-unit, 2-story family house located in Rosedale, built in 1920 and currently owned by Kazi Hossain. The building has experienced several concerning incidents in recent years, particularly in 2022 when multiple complaints were fielded regarding food establishment issues, specifically relating to rodents, insects, and garbage – with ten separate complaints between July and September 2022, most of which were administratively closed but suggestive of recurring sanitation concerns.

A more recent food-related complaint from October 2023 involved food poisoning, though the Department of Health determined it to be isolated. The building has active violations related to failure to file annual safety inspections, including multiple External Low Pressure system inspections from 2018-2023, as well as an outstanding boiler inspection violation from 2017.

In June 2024, a plumbing-related complaint was recorded regarding defective/leaking conditions, which was referred to the Department of Environmental Protection. Additionally, there is an active Department of Buildings Environmental Control Board violation from 2019 regarding an unauthorized construction of a room with a corrugated plastic roof and sheet walls near the rear right side of the building, with a penalty of $6,250 associated with this violation. While many complaints have been closed, the pattern of repeated violations and inspection failures, particularly regarding safety systems, warrants attention to the building's maintenance history and compliance record.
