Five illegal-conversion complaints landed on the same block of 111 Street in Ozone Park on October 30, per DOB records.
The complaints — filed against 107-37, 107-38, 107-39, 107-41, and 107-42 111 Street, all in the 11419 ZIP code — are logged under complaint category 45, DOB's code for illegal conversion, and assigned to the Queens borough office's Q-L unit, according to DOB's complaints-received dataset. Each carries its own Building Identification Number, running consecutively from 4203268 through 4203372, and each is listed as active as of this writing.
DOB records show no disposition yet on any of the five; the department has not said whether the complaints are related or whether an inspector has been assigned beyond intake. The addresses sit in Community Board 10.
Separately, per DOB records, a sixth-floor elevator complaint was filed October 29 at 655 West 160th Street in Manhattan (BIN 1063324, Community Board 112), one of four elevator-related complaints (category 6S) logged citywide in the two-day window, alongside filings at 3764 Bronx Boulevard, 1601 Metropolitan Avenue, and 2134 Wallace Avenue in the Bronx. All four remain active, according to DOB's dataset.
A boiler/mechanical-code complaint (category 7J) was also entered October 30 at 735 Dekalb Avenue in Brooklyn (BIN 3319488, Community Board 303) and at 535 West 28th Street in Manhattan (BIN 1089395, Community Board 104), both logged to DOB's Resolution Team Enforcement Unit and both active, per DOB records.
A complaint entered at the same address and category does not establish a violation or a hazard — DOB complaints are intake records, not findings. None of the complaints listed here has reached disposition as of this writing, per DOB's dataset.
What to do next
Anyone with work planned at 107-37 through 107-42 111 Street in Ozone Park should check DOB's public complaint and violation lookup before scheduling inspections tied to those BINs, since five open category-45 complaints on one block increase the odds of a borough-office site visit. The same applies to the elevator and boiler complaints listed above — contractors servicing those buildings should confirm complaint status before signing off on affected equipment. DOB's complaint disposition typically posts on a lag; check back in the coming days for status updates on any of these BINs.
