133-20 76th Street, Queens, NY 11414

This two-family house at 133-20 76th Street in Howard Beach, owned by Nasheela Khanhakim, is a two-story, 2-family residential building constructed in 1899. The property experienced significant maintenance issues in 2021, with multiple complaints and violations primarily occurring in August-September 2021. The most critical problems included rodent infestations (both mice and rats), unsanitary conditions, mold, and window-related issues.

The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issued several violations that required attention, including a C-class violation for rodent infestation in the front yard and an A-class violation for refuse accumulation, both of which were certified as corrected by October 8, 2021. Specific violations in Apartment 1 included problems with plaster surfaces, multiple instances of peeling paint, and safety concerns such as a missing smoke detector and defective carbon monoxide detector. An open violation related to window guards was also recorded during this period.

Prior to the 2021 issues, there were rodent sightings in November 2020 and an initial inspection that passed in March 2010, suggesting recent pest management challenges. The building had multiple 311 complaints filed in August 2021, including reports of pests, mold, and window frame problems, with results ranging from violations being issued to inspections finding no violations (in the case of a wall paint/plaster complaint). The resolution of these various complaints and violations appears to have been completed by late 2021, with the majority of violations having been certified as corrected by October 2021.
