65-06 163rd Street, Queens, NY 11365

The 12-unit residential building located at 65-06 163rd Street in Flushing, owned by Boris Munarov, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in February 2023, there were multiple unresolved complaints regarding safety concerns (specifically related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors), pests, a heavy water leak, and heat and hot water issues, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The building has a concerning history of heat and hot water problems, with similar complaints recorded in 2020 and 2022, though some were resolved relatively quickly or confirmed as being restored. The property has faced regulatory scrutiny regarding unauthorized modifications, particularly focusing on a basement apartment and illegal kitchen installation, with inspection attempts in 2022 and 2023. Multiple violations were documented regarding building safety features, including defective doors and an illegal gas cooking space, though these have since been resolved.

The building's infrastructure maintenance includes a recent violation regarding improper storage in the boiler room from March 2023. While the building has successfully filed annual bedbug reports for the past four years showing zero infestations, the property has faced challenges with maintaining essential safety systems, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints and violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. The most recent building inspection activity and complaint resolutions suggest ongoing efforts to address various maintenance and safety issues, though access problems for inspectors have been a recurring theme.
