144-58 87th Road, Queens, NY 11435

The two-family house at 144-58 87th Road in Briarwood, owned by Ahsan Haque, has experienced several significant events over the past few years that may impact tenant safety and comfort. Most notably, there is an active Department of Buildings violation from October 2022 regarding unauthorized vertical enlargement above the second floor, including new plywood and joists for a roof structure, with concerns about partial siding completion.

The building has a documented pattern of inspection access issues, with multiple instances between 2020-2022 where inspectors were unable to gain entry to investigate complaints, including emergency electrical wiring concerns and multiple gas-related complaints in both 2020 and 2022. The property has faced multiple regulatory challenges, including two non-conforming zoning violations in early 2020 that resulted in Oath Violations being served in May 2020.

Inspections in October 2022 related to special operations compliance resulted in a partial stop work order, and subsequent inspections for various complaints between October 2022 and January 2023 encountered access issues. The building's mechanical systems have been a recurring concern, with multiple complaints about electrical wiring and gas hook-up/piping issues throughout 2020-2022, though many of these complaints remain unresolved due to access denial. While most of these complaints have been closed in terms of official status, it's important to note that many were closed due to inspector access issues rather than definitive resolution of the reported problems.
