105-14 177th Street, Queens, NY 11433

The two-family house at 105-14 177th Street in Jamaica, owned by Balkrishna Maddiwar, is a 2-story building constructed in 1931. The property has a significant history of housing maintenance violations, particularly affecting the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2), with all noted violations occurring during 2010.

These violations, which have recently been certified as corrected in August 2024, included multiple instances of defective plastered surfaces requiring repair and repainting in various locations throughout the apartment, problems with window sashes and sills that required proper repair, and safety concerns such as a loose handrail in the private hallway. Of particular concern were documented pest-related issues, with multiple violations recorded for both mice and roach infestations affecting the entire apartment.

The comprehensive nature of these violations suggests there were significant maintenance and habitability challenges in 2010, though the recent certification of correction in 2024 indicates these issues have been addressed, at least in terms of official records. The building's age and the original violations from 2010 reflect typical maintenance challenges found in older New York City housing stock.
