88-31 146th Street, Queens, NY 11435

The 3-story, 2-family house at 88-31 146th Street in Jamaica, owned by Shahida Hai and built in 1940, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past three years. Most notably, from November 2023 through April 2025, there have been multiple complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and pest infestations, including three separate documented instances of pest-related complaints in November 2023 and April 2025, though in many cases, HPD was unable to access the affected areas for inspection.

The building has also faced repeated issues with flooring conditions, with three emergency flooring complaints filed between November 2023 and April 2025, indicating potentially significant safety concerns in this area. Walls requiring paint or plaster work have been another recurring issue, with complaints documented in both 2023 and 2025, though these were classified as non-emergency situations.

Additional matters of concern include an emergency appliance complaint regarding the electric/gas range from November 2023 and a potentially serious drainage issue documented in October 2021, which was classified as a violation in April 2024. The property has also been the subject of an illegal conversion complaint in April 2025, though inspectors were unable to gain access during their visits. While many of these complaints have been closed through official channels, the patterns of recurring issues, particularly regarding pests and structural concerns, suggest ongoing maintenance challenges within the building.
