106-24 173rd Street, Queens, NY 11433

Located in Jamaica, Queens, 106-24 173rd Street is a three-story, two-unit residential building owned by Jahidur Rahman and constructed in 1930. The property has experienced several noteworthy issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns centered around air quality and animal control.

In October 2024, the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene responded to complaints about indoor air quality and unsanitary animal conditions, while 2022 saw multiple complaints regarding pests and security issues with doors and windows. A significant series of heating and hot water problems occurred in late 2021, with multiple emergency complaints filed between October and December of that year, leading to violations being issued for inadequate heat supply throughout the building and in Unit 2. The building has also faced structural and safety concerns, including issues with missing or defective self-closing doors at the main entrance, accumulated refuse in multiple yard areas, and various safety notice violations documented in late 2021.

While there were complaints about illegal conversion and egress problems in 2020-2021, inspection attempts were unsuccessful. More positively, recent records from 2023 and 2024 show no bedbug infestations reported, and a rodent inspection in December 2024 resulted in a passing grade. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements for the past three years, with no instances of infestation or eradication needed during that period.
