173-14 89th Avenue, Queens, NY 11432

The 3-story, 3-unit building at 173-14 89th Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Simranjit Kukreja, has experienced recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 2006. Most recently, in early 2025 and late 2024, there were multiple complaints regarding heat and hot water problems in apartment 3, with one of these complaints resulting in an open violation for inadequate heat supply.

Additionally, in late 2024, there were violations issued for ceiling-related issues in apartment 3, including mold, plaster damage, and water leak concerns, though some of these violations were classified as closed. The building has a documented history of water-related problems, with multiple complaints in late 2020 into early 2021 regarding water leaks, including heavy flow and damp spots, though access for inspection was not granted in these cases.

The property has experienced various maintenance challenges over the years, including an open violation from 2024 regarding access to the boiler room heating system, and two open bedbug reporting violations from 2022 and 2023, though historical filings from 2021 and 2020 showed no infested units. Security concerns were addressed in 2021 when self-closing doors for the building entrance and first-floor vestibule were required to be installed, and an initial rodent inspection in 2013 resulted in a passing grade. While the building has maintained basic compliance with rodent control and bedbug reporting in recent years, the ongoing heat and water-related issues, particularly in apartment 3, present continuing maintenance challenges.
