15-24 124th Street, Queens, NY 11356

The three-story, six-unit building at 15-24 124th Street in College Point, owned by Abdul Wazeed, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centered around heating and water systems. Notably, from late 2024 through 2025, there have been multiple heat and hot water complaints, including an April 2025 complaint that was closed without access to inspect the unit. The building has also faced significant plumbing and sanitation challenges, with violations issued in December 2023 relating to water leaks, sink problems, and pest infestations.

The most recent inspections have revealed several open violations in apartment 1L, including inadequate water supply for fixtures, defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, and issues with self-closing doors. There are also active violations related to the failure to file required external low-pressure inspections for 2019, 2021, and 2023, which presents a potential safety concern. While historical rodent inspections show some compliance (failing in 2010 and 2015, but passing in 2016), the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly regarding water supply and heating.

The property history indicates a pattern of plumbing and heating issues, with emergency complaints about water supply problems in 2022-2023, along with various plumbing-related service requests. Additional maintenance concerns include a 2024 violation regarding bedbug reporting requirements and a 2023 violation related to kitchen cabinet issues in apartment 1R. While some older complaints have been resolved, many recent violations remain open, particularly those following a October 2024 inspection, which identified multiple issues requiring attention. The building's age (constructed in 1931) and classification as an Old Law Tenement suggest that it may require ongoing attention to address infrastructure and safety systems that may not meet modern standards.
