87-74 150th Street, Queens, NY 11435

The 31-unit, 4-story building at 87-74 150th Street in Jamaica, owned by Ghazi Bokhari, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing concerns focusing on heat/hot water systems and rodent maintenance. Most recently, in June 2025, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene identified new rodent-related violations, following a pattern of rodent-related issues dating back to at least 2022, with the latest inspection in July 2025 resulting in a failed compliance check. There was also a significant cluster of heat-related complaints between December 2023 and January 2024, affecting the entire building, though some investigations found heat had been restored by the time of inspection.

The building presents several active or recently closed violations that warrant attention, including two open Class B violations from October 2023 regarding water leaks and damaged plaster in Apartment 4H, and an open Class C violation from January 2022 related to lead paint hazards in Apartment B4. Historical records show persistent issues with building egress and safety, particularly between 2018-2019, where multiple violations were documented concerning blocked exit passageways, though many of these were subsequently resolved. The building's maintenance history also shows some attention to regulatory compliance, with regular bedbug reports submitted between 2020-2024 indicating no infested units during those periods.

Additionally, there have been several failures to file mandatory benchmarking and energy efficiency reports between 2020-2023, with violations being dismissed after payment of associated penalties. The property has undergone multiple inspections and service requests regarding various maintenance issues, including paint/plaster problems, flooring concerns, and smoking violations, demonstrating a pattern of maintenance needs that suggest ongoing challenges in building upkeep. While some violations have been promptly addressed and closed, others remain open as of the latest available data, indicating areas where building systems and maintenance may require further attention.
