102-28 159th Road, Queens, NY 11414

The 8-unit, 2-story residential building at 102-28 159th Road in Howard Beach, owned by Teddy Mann, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, particularly between 2024 and early 2025. Most notably, there have been multiple **emergency mold** complaints in September 2024 (three separate incidents within one month), and significant plumbing issues including **toilet, shower, and sewage problems** reported in December 2023, which remained unresolved until April 2024.

The building also experienced **heat and hot water** complaints in late 2022 through early 2023, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify these conditions. Of particular concern are the **Department of Buildings complaints from 2024-2025** suggesting potential illegal activity, including multiple reports of **illegal hotel rooms** and **illegal conversions**, though inspectors were often unable to gain access to complete their inspections.

Other serious complaints include **work without a permit** and work completed **contrary to a stop work order** in July 2024. While all these complaints were ultimately closed, in many cases this was due to inspector access issues rather than definitive resolution of the underlying problems. The building's most recent bedbug inspection report from April 2023 indicated no infestations or eradication efforts during the previous two-year period (2021-2022), though this is now somewhat dated given the time that has passed since.
