87-18 168th Place, Queens, NY 11432

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 87-18 168th Place in Jamaica Hills, owned by Nasim Mustafa and constructed in 1955, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, an August 2024 inspection revealed multiple open violations in Apartment 2, including problems with water leaks, broken electrical outlets, defective stair balusters, and an infestation of roaches. The apartment was also found to have defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, plumbing issues, and various problems with walls requiring repairs.

Since March 2024, there have been several emergency service requests, including heating system problems and issues with cooking gas. The building's PR record shows two inspection attempts in early 2025 regarding plumbing work and gas line matters that resulted in inspectors being unable to gain access. Additionally, an Environmental Control Board violation from March 2024 remains active, concerning an illegally cut curb for off-street parking, with an imposed penalty of $1,280.

The property has generated numerous complaints through various channels, including 311, Housing Maintenance Code complaints, and Department of Buildings issues. Multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions related to pests were filed in August 2024, along with several cases of door/window problems and issues requiring paint/plaster work. While a bedbug report from August 2024 shows no active infestations during the reporting period, the cumulative list of open violations and maintenance issues suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and code compliance. The building was classified as a "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" residence, indicating a change in its use designation at some point, though specific details of this conversion are not provided in the available data.
