80-72 164th Street, Queens, NY 11432

This two-family house at 80-72 164th Street in Jamaica Estates, owned by Sandra Chang, has experienced several notable issues over recent years, particularly during 2018-2019. The building experienced multiple heat and hot water complaints, with an emergency complaint for lack of heat/hot water in January 2019 affecting the entire building, and various inspections revealing ongoing hot water supply problems. In late 2018, multiple issues were documented including electrical problems (power outage), flooring concerns, door frame issues, and the presence of mold, though most of these inspections resulted in no violations being issued.

The apartment (Unit 1) in particular had several violations noted in late 2018, including issues with doors, plaster surfaces, and safety equipment, with some violations classified as Class A, B, and C. Notable among these were problems with door hardware, ceiling plaster in the kitchen, and the need for a carbon monoxide detector. The unit also had documented water leak issues affecting the kitchen ceiling, though some complaints were closed without violations being issued.

The building underwent rodent inspections in 2019, initially failing in May but passing a compliance inspection in July. More recent history includes a 2020 complaint regarding illegal commercial use in the nearby area, which was investigated but found without violation. While the building's most significant issues appear to have been concentrated in 2018-2019, with multiple complaints across various maintenance categories, many of these conditions were addressed and closed, with no recent complaints or violations on record through 2020-2023. The structure, built in 1950 and consisting of two stories, remains in compliance with most current building codes, though some historical maintenance challenges can be noted from the available records.
