90-07 172nd Street, Queens, NY 11432

The 3-story, 3-unit residential building at 90-07 172nd Street in Jamaica, owned by Mohammed Bashar and constructed in 2005, has experienced several notable safety and compliance issues over its history. Most significantly, in June 2021, both smoke and carbon monoxide detector failures were documented in the 2nd-floor apartment, leading to emergency violations that required repair or replacement of defective safety equipment.

While these violations were subsequently closed, the building has also faced recurrent bedbug reporting compliance issues, receiving three separate violations between 2021-2024 for failing to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, though all three violations were eventually closed. An additional violation was recorded in June 2021 for an illegal double-cylinder lock installation at the front gate yard, classified as a Class C violation, which remains open.

On a positive note, the building has maintained a clean record regarding current bedbug infestations, with the most recent reports from July 2024 showing zero infested units, and previous reports from 2023 and 2022 also indicating no history of infestations. The property has undergone routine inspections, including a passing rodent inspection in November 2013, suggesting generally sound maintenance practices. While the building's safety equipment issues in 2021 represent the most significant concern on record, it's worth noting that these violations were addressed and closed, though the open violation regarding the front gate lock and the Class B safety equipment violations from 2021 are still technically unresolved in the current records.
