94-86 218th Street, Queens, NY 11428

The three-story, three-unit residential building at 94-86 218th Street in Queens Village, owned by Urmila Mukhija, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since its construction in 2004. The most pressing current concerns are two open Class A violations from 2024 and 2023 regarding the annual bedbug reporting requirements that remain unaddressed.

In December 2022, the building faced significant heating system problems, with a Class C violation issued for inadequate heat supply in the third-floor apartment and another open violation for locked access to the boiler room. The property has a documented history of maintenance issues spanning several years, including multiple complaints and violations related to wall conditions (paint/plaster) in 2020-2021, plumbing problems (bathtub/shower) in 2019-2020, and various infrastructure concerns (including electrical outlets/switches and intercom system) all reported and addressed between October 2019 and March 2020. The building's regulatory history reveals several administrative compliance issues from 2020, including four open Class A violations concerning required postings in the common areas, such as the building's registration number, carbon monoxide detector requirements, and housing information guide notice in multiple languages.

An inspection in 2020 also revealed access issues to the heating system, which was a recurring theme with the December 2022 heating violation. Although there was a complaint about illegal conversion in 2018, the Department of Buildings ultimately found no violation warranted at the time of inspection. The property has shown patterns of maintenance delays and access issues, particularly regarding heating systems and prompt inspection responses, as evidenced by multiple instances where HPD could not gain access to inspect reported problems.
