177-21 106th Avenue, Queens, NY 11433

The two-family house at 177-21 106th Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Akm Haider, has experienced recurring maintenance and safety issues since 2021, with the most recent cluster of problems emerging in July 2024. This July incident involved multiple violations across different categories, including plumbing issues (related to both sinks and bathtubs), door problems, pest infestations, and mold.

Apartment 1 has particularly significant violations as of July 2024, including issues with a carbon monoxide detector, a clogged wastewater line in the bathtub, broken window glass, roach infestation, damaged kitchen tiles, and problems with the toilet flushing apparatus. Though the building had no bedbug infestations reported in the past four years (2021-2024), there were concerns about heat and hot water access in December 2022, where inspectors were unable to access the units for verification. The property, dating back to 1935, has had some structural and maintenance attention required over the years, including a 2020 violation regarding a loose and dangling metal awning above the main entry door, though this was resolved with no penalty imposed.

Building inspections for rodent control have been consistently positive since 2010, with the most recent inspections in 2020 showing compliance. However, the recent spate of violations and the pattern of unsanitary conditions, particularly regarding mold and pests, indicate ongoing maintenance challenges. The building appears to have two active complaints as of July 2024 - one regarding illegal work/permit issues and one for a broken lock on the building's street entrance door, though the latter was certified as resolved in August 2024.
