102-42 1st Street, Queens, NY 11414

The 2-family house at 102-42 1st Street in Howard Beach, owned by Dany Kogan, has experienced several noteworthy issues since its construction in 2003. Most recently, in 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding electrical problems, including no lighting and wiring issues, along with indoor air quality concerns related to construction dust.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect some of these reported conditions. The building's history also reveals significant construction-related events in 2018-2019, including a Fine of $1,250 for work without proper permits, particularly concerning electrical and plumbing modifications, as well as issues with construction beyond approved plans.

Earlier complaints between late 2018 and 2019 indicate various regulatory concerns, including allegations of illegal after-hours work and multiple permit violations. During this period, the building underwent inspections for rodent control in October and November 2018, which resulted in failed inspections for "Other Reasons." Notably, there were also complaints regarding egress concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access on their final attempt in February 2024. Following these violations, permits were eventually issued in January 2019 for plumbing and electrical work under job number 421721079, suggesting that some of the earlier regulatory issues were addressed through proper permitting channels.
