216-01 Hillside Avenue, Queens, NY 11427

The two-story, 8-unit residential building at 216-01 Hillside Avenue in Queens Village, owned by Bheesham Rambrich, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most pressing concerns occurring in 2021. During March 2021, the building faced multiple simultaneous problems including no heat or hot water, power outages, lighting issues, and problems with plumbing and appliances, particularly affecting Apartment 1B which had specific violations related to its plaster surfaces, gas supply, and kitchen sink.

The building has a documented pattern of electrical issues, with multiple "no lighting" complaints making up a significant portion of the service requests, particularly during 2020-2021 when emergency complaints were filed regarding electrical wiring and lighting problems. More recent inspections in 2023 and 2024 revealed some outstanding violations including the need to file annual bedbug reports as required under Housing Maintenance Code, though the most recent bedbug report from September 2024 indicates no infestations during the 2022-2023 reporting period.

The building's system maintenance history shows regular filings for various permits, with the most recent being issued in August 2018 for general alterations. While the building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, particularly with its electrical systems and some individual apartment concerns, recent bedbug reporting compliance and the closure of several past violations suggest some improvement in maintenance practices over time. The property has maintained an active record of completing necessary documentation for bedbug monitoring purposes, consistently reporting zero infestations across multiple inspection periods.
