86-68 Midland Parkway, Queens, NY 11432

The three-unit residential building at 86-68 Midland Parkway in Jamaica Estates, owned by Nick Singh and constructed in 2004, has recently experienced multiple maintenance issues that warrant attention. As of October 2024, there are open violations in Apartment 3 related to defective kitchen sink countertop, carbon monoxide detecting devices, smoke detectors, bathroom caulking, hot water temperature (exceeding the maximum of 130 degrees), and an intercom system.

The building has also had persistent issues with pests, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations throughout 2024. Other areas of concern include a heating/hot water problem (reported October 2024), which is currently under investigation by HPD. The building's history shows significant concerns about exit passageway obstructions, with multiple violations issued between 2019-2021 (with penalties totaling over $62,500) regarding blocked emergency exit routes on the second and third floors due to stored items, including furniture, cabinets, and other personal belongings.

These violations remain active and were documented through multiple inspection periods, indicating a recurring safety concern that has not been adequately addressed. The property has also faced various unsanitary conditions and maintenance issues throughout 2023-2024, including problems with plumbing (water supply issues), building drinking water tank concerns, and issues with garbage/recycling storage. While some complaints have been closed after inspection, many were only partially addressed due to lack of access for inspectors, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges.
