An uncharged nitrogen with four neighbours? What is the molecular structure?

No, there is not really a 'workaround'. Many cheminformatics
algorithms need to know some basic properties of atoms and use atom
types as model for that.

The solution to this problem is to define the atom properties for the
atom type you have in your molecule, that is currently returning null.
Can you give me the InChI of the molecule? Then I can add the missing
atom type.

Yes, adding hydrogens is only one algorithm that needs to know these
atom properties. The best thing you can do, is put a filter in place
before your QSAR descriptor calculation, and have it only be done on
molecules for which the CDK was able to detect atom types for all
atoms.
