159-13 72nd Avenue, Queens, NY 11365

The 8-unit, 4-story residential building at 159-13 72nd Avenue in Flushing, owned by Mohiddin Ahmadi, was constructed in 2014 and has experienced several significant maintenance issues. Most notably, the building has recurring problems with water leaks, with three documented incidents: a heavy flow leak in May 2020 (which resulted in unsanitary mold conditions), a slow leak in December 2018, and various other water-related service requests.

The property currently has open violations from 2022-2024 regarding failure to file annual bedbug reports with HPD, though the 2021 bedbug report indicated no infested units during the 2019-2020 period. Historical records show compliance violations related to inadequate safety postings in February 2019, including requirements for smoke detector, carbon monoxide detector, gas leak procedures, and housing information guide notices, though many of these were subsequently certified as corrected by April 2019. The building's earlier history includes rodent control failures in August and September 2010, prior to its 2014 construction.

The property has been subject to multiple HPD inspections and service requests, with some earlier issues being resolved without violations, such as the slow water leak in 2018. Recent open violations suggest ongoing compliance challenges related to record-keeping obligations, while the most recent bedbug report (2021) showed positive management response with no known infestations during the reporting period. While there have been several maintenance issues reported through 311 calls and HPD complaints, the relatively recent construction of the building (2014) indicates it is generally subject to current building codes and regulations.
