137-72 70th Avenue, Queens, NY 11367

The two-family house at 137-72 70th Avenue in Kew Gardens Hills, owned by David Nisim, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent months, particularly concentrated in May 2024. The property, built in 1950 and comprising two stories, has recorded numerous plumbing-related problems, with inspections leading to violations in water supply and sink facilities, though some complaints were closed without specific violations being issued.

The building has multiple open violations as of May 2024, primarily affecting Apartment 1 on the first floor, including issues with a leaky bathtub faucet, water leak affecting the kitchen ceiling, broken bathroom fixtures, and various repair needs involving cabinets, tiles, and plastered surfaces in both the bathroom and kitchen. There were also complaints in May 2024 regarding paint/plaster issues in multiple locations, door problems, and several other maintenance concerns, many of which the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to access for inspection.

Additionally, an earlier complaint from August 2023 was filed regarding a defective boiler at a nearby address (113-67), but this issue was addressed by March 2024 with corrective action taken. The property's recent history indicates significant maintenance challenges, particularly affecting Apartment 1, with multiple active violations as of May 2024 requiring attention to various aspects of the unit's infrastructure and surfaces.
