107-06 165th Street, Queens, NY 11433

The two-family house at 107-06 165th Street in Jamaica, owned by Azkaa Chaudhry, has had several significant maintenance and compliance issues since its construction in 2004. Most notably, there has been a persistent pattern of attempted inspections for alleged illegal conversions, with six separate complaints between 2020 and 2024, all resulting in access denial during second attempts.

The building has experienced recurring heating and plumbing issues, including a heat/hot water emergency in August 2020 (though conditions were reportedly restored), and plumbing problems related to a basin/sink that took approximately seven months to resolve in 2020-2021. The property has also faced sanitation challenges, with rodent-related complaints filed in 2019 and 2022 regarding conditions attracting pests, and multiple facility maintenance issues including mold, lighting problems, and various door/window concerns documented in July 2019, all grouped under emergency and non-emergency classifications. Most recently, in June 2023, there was a general complaint regarding janitor/super conditions investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), though no violations were found.

The building's recent history shows improvement in terms of complaint resolution time, with the most recent 311 service request being addressed within ten days. While many past issues have been resolved, the continuing pattern of access denial for illegal conversion inspections remains a notable concern, with the most recent attempt in August 2024 still showing as active with inspection access denied. The property has maintained its two-family house classification under Building Class 2, with no documented changes to its official use or structure since construction.
