145-55 105th Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The three-unit, three-story New Law tenement building at 145-55 105th Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Nur Isam and constructed in 1920, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent being a water leak complaint in March 2024. The building has faced multiple water-related problems, including a heavy flow leak complaint in January 2023 and a damp spot issue in March 2024, though no violations were issued following inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). Significant violations currently remain open, including two from March 2024 involving a defective self-closing door in the first-floor apartment (class C violation) and a ceiling water leak issue in the same unit (class B violation).

The building has a concerning pattern of open Class A violations regarding bedbug report filings, with citations recorded in 2024, 2023, 2022, and 2021. Additional historical data shows past compliance issues with rodent inspections in 2011, though a subsequent inspection in 2018 passed. An illegal conversion complaint was filed and investigated in March 2023, but access was denied during inspection attempts.

Several other violations from early 2023 remain unresolved, including improper door repairs and missing inspection certificates in the public hall. While many service requests and violations have been documented, particularly related to water issues and door maintenance, it's noteworthy that most HPD inspections following complaints have not resulted in formal violations being issued, though many subsequent violations were cited in related inspections. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic building systems, particularly water management and entry security.
