166-31 88th Avenue, Queens, NY 11432

The 2-story, 3-unit building at 166-31 88th Avenue in Jamaica, built in 1905 and currently owned by Mohamed Ally, has experienced several maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, in August 2024, there were two HPD complaints regarding plumbing (toilet) and appliance (electric/gas range) problems, both of which were closed due to the Department's inability to gain access for inspection.

In 2021, the building had multiple safety-related complaints that were inspected by HPD, including issues with window guards, carbon monoxide detectors, and smoke detectors, though no violations were ultimately issued for these cases. The building has undergone various inspections and received several notices of violation between 2021-2023, most relating to safety requirements and maintenance standards. In 2021, violations were noted for the need to post and maintain proper notices regarding carbon monoxide detector requirements, smoke detector requirements, gas leak procedures, and other safety-related information.

A Class C violation regarding lead-based paint hazard notification remains open as of 2023. The property has consistently filed its annual bedbug reports (most recently showing zero infested units for the period ending October 2024) and has passed all recent rodent inspections, with the most recent occurring in 2014, though earlier records from 2010-2013 showed consistent compliance. The building's management has generally addressed violations when cited, with many being certified as corrected, though some open violations from 2021 remain outstanding as of 2023.
