71-17 Austin Street, Queens, NY 11375

The two-family house at 71-17 Austin Street, owned by David Hakakian, has experienced a series of maintenance issues over the past two years that warrant attention. The 1930 Forest Hills property, which has two stories and consists of two units, has had recurring problems with heating and hot water systems, with four separate complaints registered between December 2022 and March 2023.

Two of these concerns affected the entire building while the others were reported from individual apartments; notably, the most recent complaint in March 2023 was marked as an emergency situation. The building also experienced a water leak issue in December 2022, described as a damp spot, for which inspectors were unable to gain access to conduct an evaluation.

While some complaints indicate that conditions were temporarily resolved (as noted in January 2023), the pattern of heating system failures and restricted access for inspections suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. All reported issues have been officially closed, but several cases included caveats encouraging residents to file new complaints if problems persisted.
