187-34 Mangin Avenue, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 187-34 Mangin Avenue, owned by Graham Manigat, has experienced numerous maintenance issues throughout 2021 that significantly impacted resident comfort and safety. There were multiple heat and hot water complaints in 2021, with emergencies reported for both the entire building and individual apartments, particularly affecting Unit 2 on the second story.

The building also faced serious plumbing issues, including problems with radiators and bathtub/shower facilities, as well as concerns about mold and heavy water leaks in July 2021. Multiple violations were issued during inspections, particularly for inadequate hot water supply and gas service to kitchen fixtures in Unit 2, though some violations have since been closed. Investigations in 2021 revealed safety concerns including a broken stair tread and unsecured handrail in the building, while a July 2021 violation cited an unauthorized sleeping area in the attic.

The property has also been subject to multiple illegal conversion complaints, with investigations in March 2023 and July 2021, and associated Environmental Control Board violations regarding unauthorized attic occupancy. Despite these issues, some complaints were marked as closed with no violations found or due to inability to gain access during inspections. The most recent building inspection in 2024 was unable to gain access, though this specific complaint was related to an illegal conversion inquiry that followed up on prior reports from 2021.
