106-29 154th Street, Queens, NY 11433

The three-unit, three-story building at 106-29 154th Street in Jamaica, owned by Sarwar Alam and built in 1925, has a concerning pattern of non-compliance with housing maintenance requirements over the past four years. Since 2021, the property has accumulated four consecutive open violations related to the failure to file annual bedbug reports as required by HPD regulations, with the most recent citation issued in April 2024. These persistent violations suggest ongoing challenges with pest management and regulatory compliance.

The building's history also includes an unsuccessful inspection for rat activity in 2010, though subsequent inspections that year were categorized as "Failed for Other Reasons," indicating potential ongoing vermin issues at that time. Additional records show two significant complaints regarding potential illegal activities. In 2018, there was a complaint about an alleged illegal conversion of the property, though inspectors were unable to gain access on their second and final attempt.

More recently, in November 2020, there was a complaint about work being done without proper permits in an occupied multiple dwelling, but this was determined not to warrant any violations upon inspection. While these complaints were ultimately resolved without confirmed violations, they indicate periods of regulatory scrutiny for the property. The building's age (100 years old as of 2025) and history of maintenance violations suggest possible deferred maintenance issues, though the specific nature of these problems is not detailed in the available records.
