76-07 160th Street, Queens, NY 11366

The 2-story, 4-unit building at 76-07 160th Street in Flushing, owned by Regina Shakarova and constructed in 1952, has experienced significant recent maintenance issues, particularly throughout 2024-2025. The property has undergone multiple heating and electrical system failures, including building-wide heat/hot water outages and power outages documented in 2025, with similar complaints also noted in 2024.

A concerning pattern of maintenance violations has emerged, particularly in Apartment 2B, where inspection findings from November 2024 revealed multiple issues including defective plaster surfaces, faulty hot water systems, and pest infestations. The building has faced regulatory scrutiny in 2024 regarding unauthorized work, with multiple Department of Buildings (DOB) complaints about construction activities lacking proper permits, though many inspections resulted in "Unable To Gain Access" findings. In addition to the above, the property has active Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations related to boiler maintenance and unauthorized renovation work, with penalties totaling $19,250 currently due.

Recent safety concerns have emerged in 2025, including failed carbon monoxide and smoke detector inspections, though these violations were subsequently resolved. Other documented issues include problems with building intercom/buzzer systems and door hardware. While the building has maintained a relatively pest-free record according to bedbug reporting requirements from 2021-2023, the recent pattern of systemic infrastructure failures, multiple open violations, and regulatory enforcement actions warrant close attention to ongoing maintenance and safety conditions.
