89-03 178th Street, Queens, NY 11432

The two-family residence at 89-03 178th Street in Jamaica, owned by Gopal Mansukhani, has experienced several notable issues over recent years that impact tenant safety and comfort. The building, constructed in 1930, consists of two stories and two units. Most concerning are the recent rat activity findings, with compliance inspections in both April and July 2025 showing persistent rodent issues.

The building has a documented history of heating system problems, with a significant incident in July 2019 when tenants reported a lack of heat and hot water, though these services were restored during the HPD's investigation. The second-floor unit has faced multiple safety compliance challenges, including a 2018 violation for missing carbon monoxide detectors and an open violation regarding inadequate heat supply, indicating ongoing concerns about the building's heating system. Additional oversight has been required for a daycare facility associated with the property, with a complaint investigated by the NYC Health Department in August 2022.

The building's maintenance history includes some resolved issues, such as the 2018 carbon monoxide detector violation, which was certified as corrected in February 2018. While there were some housing code violations in the past, these were generally resolved through proper channels. The property's violation record shows a mix of addressed and ongoing issues, with the most pressing being the recent rodent activity and the historical challenges related to heating system reliability and safety equipment compliance.
