146-38 Tuskegee Airmen Way, Queens, NY 11435

The four-unit, two-story building at 146-38 Tuskegee Airmen Way in Jamaica, owned by Asim Alli, has experienced persistent maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent concerns emerging in April 2024 including mold problems and heating system failures affecting the entire building. The property has open violations from April 2024 indicating multiple infrastructure and habitability concerns, including an active infestation of mice and roaches in apartment 2F, maintenance issues with the ceiling in the public hall, and problems with the front entrance door.

Historical records show a pattern of unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding pests and mold, with several HPD complaints in 2019 that resulted in documented violations, though access issues prevented full inspections in some cases. The building's maintenance history reveals a range of urgent and non-urgent issues requiring attention, including plumbing problems in the bathtub/shower area, window pane issues, and various paint/plaster concerns documented between 2019 and 2024.

There are also structural concerns noted in the April 2024 violations, such as a leaking roof over the public hall ceiling and defective fire retardant material, along with a requirement to file an annual bedbug report as of that same inspection date. The property's rodent inspections from January and February 2014 both resulted in failures, indicating long-standing concerns with infestations, which appear to have re-emerged as of 2024. The building, constructed in 1962 and having undergone a conversion to a Class A property, presents an ongoing challenge with maintenance and habitability issues, as evidenced by the recurring nature of the complaints and violations over time.
