248-05 Memphis Avenue, Queens, NY 11422

The two-family residence at 248-05 Memphis Avenue in Rosedale, owned by Fazal Khan, has experienced significant regulatory scrutiny since 2019. The building, constructed in 1925 and properly classified as a two-family house, became the subject of multiple investigations beginning in February 2019, when complaints about illegal conversion and unauthorized construction work were filed.

These investigations revealed that the property had been converted, maintained, or occupied beyond its legally approved family designation, violating its Certificate of Occupancy (C of O), which specifically approves a two-story, two-family configuration. In May 2019, following an inspection, a partial vacate order was issued, and two Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations were recorded: one for exceeding the authorized number of families (with a $2,500 penalty, currently active) and another for unauthorized construction work at the cellar level, where full-height partitions had been erected to create two bedrooms ($1,250 penalty, now resolved).

A subsequent construction enforcement complaint was filed in May 2019, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempt in March 2020. The building's permit history shows that a permit was issued on January 23, 2020, under job number 421736599, though the specific nature of this permit was not detailed in the available records. Despite these multiple violations and enforcement actions, most of the penalties have been resolved, though the active violation regarding the unauthorized family conversion remains on record as of October 2023.
