148-05 88th Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The three-story, eight-unit building at 148-05 88th Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Satya Sikder, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with several concerning patterns emerging. Most notably, there are ongoing problems with the heating system, including emergency complaints in December 2024 and January 2025 regarding both apartment-specific and entire building heat/hot water issues, for which violations were issued.

There is also an active violation from December 2024 concerning locked access to the heating system in the cellar boiler room. The building has received multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations related to Apartment 3A, including issues with plastered surfaces, door gaps, electrical wiring, lighting fixtures, and ceiling water leaks, all requiring repairs under various penalty classes ranging from A to C. The property has a significant number of open violations related to boiler inspections, with penalties totaling $6,250 for failing to file required annual low-pressure boiler inspection reports between 2019 and 2024.

Additionally, there were multiple emergency complaints in early 2025 regarding electrical wiring issues, window frames, and pest problems, though many of these complaints were eventually closed without finding violations. The building's history shows past concerns with egress blockages, particularly in 2018, and while there were some rodent control challenges in 2011, more recent inspections (2013-2014) passed without issues. Despite these various maintenance problems, the building's bedbug reporting records from 2019-2025 consistently show no infestations, and there have been no recent rodent complaints since 2014.
