76-07 101st Avenue, Queens, NY 11416

The 4-unit, 3-story building at 76-07 101st Avenue in Ozone Park, owned by Ahmed A. Hakim, has a concerning history of maintenance issues and active violations.

Most notably, there are four open violations (as of 2025) related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports between 2021 and 2024, which carries potential implications for resident comfort and safety. The building's documented history shows significant infrastructure issues in 2021, including multiple water leak complaints (both slow leaks and damp spots), heat/hot water problems, and an array of violations in apartment 3R that included pest infestations (roaches and mice), mold growth, safety device concerns (missing carbon monoxide detector, defective window guards), and maintenance issues with self-closing doors. The property has also experienced rodent activity, with inspections in 2018 showing rat presence and subsequent bait applications in early 2019.

More recently, in 2023, three separate violations were issued regarding the failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2020, 2021, and 2022, which remain active as of June 2025. While some past violations have been resolved (including certain 2021-2022 issues related to 3R), the persistence of open violations and the sequence of maintenance issues suggest ongoing challenges with building upkeep. The building, constructed in 1931 and classified as a New Law Tenement, has been subject to various regulatory requirements over its lifetime, with particular attention needed to its historical pattern of pest-related issues and more recent concerns about bedbug reporting compliance.
