106-08 34th Avenue, Queens, NY 11368

The 6-unit, 3-story residential building at 106-08 34th Avenue in Jackson Heights, owned by Ridwan Kabir and constructed in 2006, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues, particularly in the past year. Between November 2024 and March 2025, multiple complaints were logged and investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including violations related to mold, pest infestations, and both door and window conditions. Specifically, Apartment 1F appears to be experiencing substantial maintenance challenges, with open violations as of August 2024 regarding a roach infestation and mice problems, along with issues related to window components, bathroom tile grout, and various door hardware.

The building has also failed to address two active Department of Buildings violations from 2020 and 2023 concerning the failure to file required boiler and low-pressure inspection reports. Notably, the property has documented issues with both mold and pest infestations (including multiple complaints about pests in 2024-2025), as well as problems with garbage storage and sanitation. While there have been consistent reports of sanitary issues, including garbage storage problems and pest infestations, the most recent inspections have shown mixed results, with some violations found to be non-compliant with housing laws while others resulted in citations.

Interestingly, the building has maintained a bedbug-free record across the last three reporting periods (2022-2025), with no confirmed infestations. The building's history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly related to sanitation and basic building systems, though there have been some improvements as certain violations have been closed through inspections. Tenants should be aware of the ongoing nature of some maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 1F, while noting the lack of recent bedbug problems.
