34-12 Union Street, Queens, NY 11354

This two-family house at 34-12 Union Street in Flushing, owned by Amit Sikdar, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2018, particularly concerning its mechanical systems and safety compliance. Most notably, in 2021, the property faced serious violations related to its boiler system, including being unregistered, improperly installed in an open basement without fire ratings, and having various safety concerns such as missing insulation and inadequate combustion air.

These violations incurred penalties totaling $6,250, though records indicate they have been resolved. The building also had multiple electrical wiring complaints between 2021-2022, with inspectors unable to gain access on some occasions, and there were two instances of vent/exhaust complaints in 2022 that resulted in no violations being found during inspection. More recently, there is an active violation from June 2023 regarding the failure to file the 2018 external low pressure inspection report.

The building's recent history is somewhat cleaner regarding pest issues, with bedbug reports for 2021-2023 showing no infestations, and while rodent inspections in 2019 indicated some issues with rat activity and other failures, these appear to be from several years ago. A plumbing water supply complaint from late 2019 was investigated by HPD but resulted in no violations being issued. The building's 311 and DOF complaint history suggests ongoing mechanical system maintenance challenges, particularly between 2018 and 2022, though more recent records show fewer such issues, with the most recent concerns primarily focusing on boiler inspection compliance.
