106-16 156th Street, Queens, NY 11433

The three-story, two-family house at 106-16 156th Street in Jamaica, owned by Vinod Singh and constructed in 2001, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent problems occurring in 2023 related to water supply plumbing. Two emergency complaints were filed in April 2023, and while one was deemed a duplicate of another tenant's complaint, the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the conditions, leading to a closed status without verification.

The building has a documented history of infrastructure challenges, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems. Multiple complaints between 2020 and 2021, including two emergency complaints in January 2021 and one in October 2020 regarding building-wide heat/hot water issues, resulted in violations being issued and documented in the Housing Maintenance Code Violations database. Specifically, a January 2021 inspection identified violations in apartment 2 for inadequate heat supply and excessively hot water above 130 degrees.

The building also experienced an electrical power outage in October 2022, which resulted in violations for the second-floor apartment. Historical records include rodent inspection results from 2011, where the building failed for unspecified reasons. The persistent nature of these maintenance issues, particularly during heating season periods, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems, though the absence of recent violations or complaints as of 2023 could indicate improvements or changes in building conditions.
