87-21 160th Street, Queens, NY 11432

The two-family house at 87-21 160th Street in Jamaica, owned by Ashrafuz Zaman, has experienced several concerning maintenance issues over the past few years. Most recently, in March 2025, there was a rodent sighting reported to the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, which resulted in violations requiring follow-up inspections. The building has a concerning history of inconsistent maintenance regarding basic services, particularly heat and hot water, with multiple emergency complaints recorded between 2020 and 2022.

Though these complaints were promptly addressed, access issues prevented inspections in several cases. In early 2023, there were complaints about smoke detectors, ceiling conditions, and bathtub/shower plumbing issues, with similar access problems hindering inspections' resolution in some instances. The property has also undergone pest-related challenges, with a bedbug infestation reported in April 2025 affecting both dwelling units, though both were reportedly eradicated.

An illegal conversion complaint was filed in November 2022, but inspectors were unable to gain access despite multiple attempts in March 2023. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with access for inspections, which has been a recurring theme in several complaints across different years and categories. Recent rodent violations and the 2025 bedbug report indicate continuing pest management issues, while the varied nature of complaints over the years suggests a range of maintenance challenges requiring attention.
