107-38 Princeton Street, Queens, NY 11435

The 3-unit, 2-story building at 107-38 Princeton Street in Jamaica, owned by Lakhwinder Multani and constructed in 2008, has experienced recurring maintenance issues, most notably with heat and hot water systems. Throughout January 2024, multiple emergency complaints were filed regarding heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). In 2025, three separate complaints about heat and hot water problems were recorded, though these were resolved within one to three days, with HPD confirming corrections by telephone.

The building has also faced pest-related issues, with two non-emergency complaints about unsanitary conditions (pests) filed in January 2025, which HPD was unable to inspect due to access issues, and an emergency appliance complaint regarding an electric/gas range in April 2025 that had a similar access problem. The property has a notable history of illegal conversion complaints, with six separate incidents recorded between 2018 and 2024, all resulting in access denial during inspection attempts. Additionally, there were egress-related violations in November 2023.

A fence complaint from November 2023 was inspected in December and found to have no violations. The building has successfully addressed bedbug issues, with three units reported as eradicated between November 2023 and October 2024, with no re-infestation. While the building has maintained basic compliance in addressing major issues, the recurring pattern of access denial for inspections and repeated heating system problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges.
