38-08 112th Street, Queens, NY 11368

This two-family house at 38-08 112th Street in Jackson Heights, built in 1920 and owned by Hemwattie Mangroo, experienced a significant cluster of maintenance and systems issues in early 2022, with the majority of complaints arising between April and June. The building faced multiple emergency situations including heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, electrical issues (including non-functioning outlets and lighting), and plumbing concerns involving basins and sinks.

Of particular note, the second-floor apartment (2FL) was documented with two official Housing Maintenance Code violations in April 2022: one related to insufficient hot water supply to fixtures and another regarding inadequate gas supply to kitchen stove and range, both of which were certified as corrected by late April and early May 2022, respectively. The building also encountered issues with unsanitary conditions, including reports of pests and mold, all of which were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) between April and June 2022, though no violations were officially issued for these complaints.

Additionally, there was a gas utility referral investigation by the Department of Buildings in March 2022, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempt in May 2022. While all reported complaints have been officially closed as of July 2025, the 2022 incident period represented a concentrated period of building system challenges requiring multiple agency inspections and interventions.
