87-15 Kingston Place, Queens, NY 11432

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 87-15 Kingston Place in Jamaica Estates, owned by Mohamed Ahmed, has had several notable incidents since its construction in 2006. The most significant cluster of issues occurred in early 2021, when multiple safety concerns were reported simultaneously, including broken or missing window guards, and issues with smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

Unfortunately, inspectors from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) were unable to gain access to the property to verify these conditions. Prior to this, in August 2019, there were reports of both a slow water leak and plumbing concerns related to water supply, though only the plumbing issue warranted an inspection, which resulted in no violations being issued. The building has two recorded Housing Maintenance Code violations from early 2021 and early 2022 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports, though these were subsequently closed.

Between 2020 and 2021, there were complaints regarding non-conformance with zoning requirements, particularly about the front of the building being paved over without the required planting area, though this violation was resolved with no penalty imposed. The property has maintained a clean bedbug record in recent years, with the most recent reports for the periods of 2022-2023 and prior years showing zero infested or eradicated units, indicating that this issue is no longer a concern. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of both resolved and unresolved issues, with a particularly concerning pattern of inspection access issues that has persisted since 2019.
