84-74 169th Street, Queens, NY 11432

The three-story, three-unit building at 84-74 169th Street in Jamaica Hills, owned by Syeda Osman, has experienced several significant challenges over recent years, particularly related to pest control and safety compliance. Most notably, the property has faced recurring pest issues, with multiple 311 complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests documented in May 2021, resulting in some violations.

The building has required annual bedbug reporting compliance, with violations cited in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024 inspections, though the most recent report from August 2024 indicates that all three units were treated and successfully eradicated of infestations between November 2022 and October 2023. The most severe set of violations occurred in May 2021 in the second-floor unit, where multiple urgent safety issues were identified, including problems with window guards, carbon monoxide detector deficiencies, smoke detector issues, and mechanical problems with door self-closing mechanisms. These safety concerns were documented as Class B and C violations, indicating serious hazards.

Additionally, there was evidence of rodent and insect infestations in this unit, requiring remediation under the Housing Maintenance Code. While many of these violations are now listed as closed, their presence indicates a period of significant maintenance challenges within the building. The property was constructed in 1985 and has maintained its classification as a Class A residential building, containing three legally recognized rental units.
