148-54 86th Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The three-story, three-unit building at 148-54 86th Avenue in Briarwood, owned by Nasrin Jahan, has experienced several significant maintenance and regulatory issues over the past five years. Most notably, there has been an ongoing pattern of bedbug report violations, with open Class A violations recorded in 2023 and 2024 for failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD. The building has also faced serious lead paint compliance issues, with multiple open violations from September 2022 concerning Apartments 1 and 2, as well as a Class C violation related to failure to provide required lead hazard records from the 3rd floor.

In 2021-2022, the property was the subject of various Department of Buildings complaints and violations, including concerns about work without proper permits, illegal conversions, and debris issues, with some violations resulting in fines, such as a $1,250 penalty for obstructing a fire escape pathway with an air conditioning unit. There were significant roof work violations noted in 2021, including an ECB violation for work performed without a permit, though this was later resolved. The building's historical records show attempts to address pest issues, with a bedbug filing in 2022 reporting a previous infestation period from late 2020 to late 2021, though all units were reportedly eradicated with no re-infestation.

The property has undergone some permitted work, with a permit issued in June 2020 for exterior work. Several inspections in 2021 and 2022 documents the building's regulatory challenges, including a 2022 inspection revealing environmental safety concerns that led to compliance orders. While some violations have been resolved, as of the latest inspection in April 2024, the building still has open violations requiring attention.
