106-38 156th Street, Queens, NY 11433

106-38 156th Street is a two-story, three-unit residential building located in Jamaica, Queens, owned by Mohammed Islam and constructed in 1915. The property has experienced notable recurring issues with heat and hot water systems, particularly during a concentrated period from March to April 2022, during which there were multiple HPD complaints (totaling eight separate incidents) regarding inadequate heating and hot water.

While some of these complaints resulted in inspections where no violations were found or where systems were reportedly restored, the frequency of these issues within a short timeframe is significant. Additionally, there was a complaint in March 2022 regarding pest-related unsanitary conditions that resulted in violations, and a mailbox-related issue in May 2022 that also resulted in violations. The most recent issue on record for the building involves a roofing complaint filed in May 2023, which was closed in June 2023 without any violations being issued.

More recently, in June 2023, multiple 7R complaints were filed with the Department of Buildings, all of which have been closed, with inspection dates ranging from June 20 to September 22, 2023. These 7R complaints appear to be related to an earlier violation from 2019 regarding the failure to certify correction of an immediately hazardous violation, which remains active as of October 2023. While some complaints have been addressed through inspections, the historical pattern of heat/hot water issues and the outstanding 2019 violation may be of concern to potential tenants.
