145-02 Tuskegee Airmen Way, Queens, NY 11435

The two-story, three-unit residential building at 145-02 Tuskegee Airmen Way in Jamaica, owned by Prithivi Dukhi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concerns in 2022. Most notably, in early 2022, there was a documented rodent infestation problem, with multiple complaints filed through 311 services and Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding pests, including mice and rats, particularly affecting apartments on the second floor.

While these violations were eventually addressed with inspections in May 2022 that passed rodent inspections, the property has shown continued challenges with pest management, as evidenced by open violations from 2023 and 2024 related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code (HMC) regulations. In addition to the pest-related issues, the building faced a heat and hot water emergency in January 2022, though this was reportedly resolved quickly.

The property has also had various infrastructure concerns, including violations in 2022 related to carbon monoxide detector replacement, self-closing doors, and other maintenance issues in the "Back" apartment on the second story. While a 2019 complaint about illegal conversion was investigated in 2020 and found to have no violations, the building's more recent history suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding compliance with bedbug reporting requirements and pest management. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and history of multiple unit conversions as indicated by its "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" designation may contribute to some of these challenges, though this is not explicitly detailed in the available data.
