45-84 161st Street, Queens, NY 11358

This three-story, four-unit residential building at 45-84 161st Street in Flushing, owned by Mahjabeen Malik, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in November 2022, there was a significant water leak incident that was inspected by HPD, though no violations were issued.

In April 2021, the building faced simultaneous utility issues, including no lighting and lack of heat/hot water, all of which were addressed with inspections that found no violations. The property has two open violations related to bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent having been cited in April 2024, though previous reports from 2023 and 2022 had been closed. Additionally, a building entrance door issue was documented in March 2023, which was subsequently resolved.

The building's history includes a notable incident in late 2022 involving illegal conversion complaints and an Environmental Control Board violation regarding unsafe storage of combustible materials near the garage area, which was resolved without penalties. Despite these various issues, it's worth noting that the building's bedbug reporting history shows no confirmed infestations, with all three reporting periods (2019-2020, 2020-2021, and 2021-2022) indicating zero infested units. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly related to utility services and door security, most problems have been addressed through official inspections, even if not all resulted in formal violations.
