87-14 166th Street, Queens, NY 11432

The 3-unit, 3-story residential building at 87-14 166th Street in Jamaica Hills, owned by Karnail Singh, was constructed in 1965 and has since converted to a Class A multiple dwelling. The building's maintenance history reveals several concerning patterns over the past five years, with particular attention required for pest-related issues. In early 2021, multiple reports of unsanitary conditions and pests were filed, though inspectors were unable to gain access to verify the claims.

Prior to these incidents, in October 2020, there were emergency reports related to door and window problems, along with additional pest complaints. A notable heating system emergency occurred in November 2018, affecting the entire building. The property has undergone several inspections and received various violations related to safety and notification requirements.

In 2021, inspectors cited the building for failing to maintain proper notice requirements for carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, and bedbug reporting - issues that were subsequently addressed by June 2021. The building has maintained a consistent record of bedbug reporting compliance since then, with the most recent report (July 2025) showing no infested units or eradication efforts required in the previous year. Earlier inspections in 2021 also noted the need for various emergency notification postings, including gas leak procedures, though these violations were all resolved. Since March 2022, the building has shown improved compliance with regulatory requirements, with no significant recent violations or service requests on record, suggesting better management of maintenance and safety protocols in recent years.
