60-16 86th Street, Queens, NY 11379

The 9-unit, 3-story residential building at 60-16 86th Street in Elmhurst, owned by Omid Tashkissi and built in 1982, has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues, particularly in late 2023. The building has documented several water-related problems, with emergency complaints regarding heavy flow water leaks, mold issues, problems with window frames, and wall conditions filed in late September 2023 - all of which were inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) but resulted in no violations being issued.

Earlier in September 2023, there were additional water-related complaints about slow leaks and damp spots for which HPD was unable to gain access to inspect. The building's history reveals some concerning patterns, including three active violations from 2023 regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections in 2018 and 2020. A cluster of housing maintenance code violations was documented in 2022, primarily focused on self-closing doors, including issues with the building entrance door, boiler room door, and fire stair doors.

These violations were eventually closed, as were earlier violations regarding heat/hot water for the entire building in late 2018. The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations over the past five cycles of reporting from 2019 to 2025, with zero units affected in all reporting periods. Other notable issues include a power outage in March 2022 and an illegal conversion complaint from 2018, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.
