162-29 76th Road, Queens, NY 11366

The two-family house at 162-29 76th Road in Flushing, owned by Halima Absar, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year, particularly affecting one of its two units (first floor). Between September and October 2023, the building faced multiple emergencies requiring Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) intervention, including problems with heat and hot water, cooking gas, plumbing, and electrical systems.

HPD inspections during this period resulted in several open violations, most notably concerning inadequate hot water supply in both the first floor and 1stFLO apartments, electrical issues including lack of lighting, and a non-functional carbon monoxide detector. The building also had an issue with an illegal double cylinder key lock at the storm door of the 1FLO apartment.

Looking back further, the property has a history of rodent-related compliance issues in 2017, with initial inspections failing for unspecified reasons. The most recent violations from September-October 2023 suggest ongoing basic utility infrastructure problems, including heating, hot water, electrical, and gas systems, which may significantly impact resident comfort and safety. The building's documented history shows a pattern of maintenance challenges, particularly affecting essential services, though it is worth noting that all cited code violations remain open as of the latest inspections.
