87-67 171st Street, Queens, NY 11432

The 8-story, 31-unit residential building at 87-67 171st Street in Jamaica, owned by Harjit Singh and constructed in 2017, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over recent years. Most notably, there are persistent concerns about heat and hot water availability, with three documented complaints in 2024-2025, though inspections generally found no violations.

The building has also faced multiple water-related issues, including two leak complaints in early 2024 (one involving heavy flow), and recent developments suggest problems with garbage/recycling storage, as evidenced by an open HPD complaint from April 2025. The property has encountered several significant maintenance challenges, particularly concentrated in 2024-2025. Apartment 2D reported multiple issues in early 2024, including mold, pest infestations (mice and roaches), and problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, resulting in several violations.

Building-wide concerns have included roof leaks affecting the 8th-story public hall, violations related to fire safety equipment (disabled sprinkler heads and door issues), and failure to properly maintain energy efficiency documentation. Recent inspections have revealed ongoing violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements, while historical data shows the building was constructed in 2017 but had multiple rodent-related inspection failures during its early years (2009-2015). Notably, bedbug inspections over the past three years (2022-2025) have shown no evidence of infestation, and the building's construction phase in 2018-2019 generated several Department of Buildings violations related to safety equipment and housekeeping, though these were generally resolved.
