105-08 Princeton Street, Queens, NY 11435

The two-family house at 105-08 Princeton Street in Jamaica, owned by Mahace Dhanchand and constructed in 2005, has experienced several maintenance and safety-related issues over the past few years. Most notably, in March 2024, the building faced multiple pest-related complaints, with one resulting in documented violations by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), while another associated complaint regarding an electric/gas range was investigated but found to have no violations.

Earlier issues include a door-related complaint in February 2022 that was categorized as emergency but ultimately resulted in no violations. The building has a concerning history of complaints regarding egress and illegal conversion issues, particularly during 2019 and more recently in September 2023.

Two complaints logged in September 2023 regarding locked/blocked egress and illegal conversion were marked as "Unable To Gain Access" on the inspector's second final attempt. Similar complaints were made in 2019, with one egress complaint and three illegal conversion complaints, though inspections either found no violations or were referenced to another complaint number. While the building's two-family configuration and relatively recent construction date suggest it should meet modern safety standards, the recurring nature of egress-related complaints and recent pest violations indicate potential ongoing maintenance challenges.
