160-10 75th Road, Queens, NY 11366

At 160-10 75th Road in Flushing, a 2-story, 4-unit residential building constructed in 1952 and owned by Yaacov Sakizada, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues, particularly between 2019-2020. The building faced multiple heat and hot water complaints, with emergencies reported in 2019 and 2020, though in one instance the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) could not gain access to investigate. Significant sanitary concerns emerged in March 2020, with complaints about pests, mold, and a water leak, leading to HPD violations.

These issues resulted in several Housing Maintenance Code violations for apartment 1A, including problems with electrical wiring, water leaks, flooring, and evidence of pest infestations (mice and roaches). There were also safety concerns noted regarding smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in March 2020. More recent history shows work without proper permits, with violations recorded in 2024 and 2021 related to construction materials and unauthorized demo work exposing ceiling joists and studs.

The building has undergone rodent inspections, with the most recent in January 2024 showing a failure to comply with requirements. While the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations in recent years and had successful rodent inspections in 2018 and 2021, the ongoing violations and multiple service requests for basic utilities and sanitary conditions continue to indicate maintenance challenges. Two ECB violations from 2021 regarding building maintenance were previously dismissed, but a 2024 violation regarding stored construction materials resulted in a penalty of $1,250.
