84-09 155th Avenue, Queens, NY 11414

The 173-unit, 6-story building at 84-09 155th Avenue in Howard Beach, owned by Ramazan Lubanovic and constructed in 1964, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most notably, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems, with the most recent complaint in February 2025 affecting the entire building, though services were reportedly restored during the inspection.

There has been a concerning pattern of water-related issues, with multiple emergency water leak complaints between late 2023 and early 2024, including both heavy flow and slow leak incidents. The building has also faced various maintenance challenges in 2024, including violations related to smoke and carbon monoxide detector functionality in apartment 1L, problems with self-closing doors in public areas, and multiple plumbing issues affecting toilets and sinks. The property underwent inspections in 2024 that revealed several violations requiring attention, including issues with fire doors and laundry room doors.

However, it's worth noting that the building has maintained an effective pest control record, with no reported instances of bedbugs or rodent issues in recent years, passing rodent inspections in 2017, 2021, and 2022. The Department of Buildings records from 2018-2019 show proper permit acquisition for maintenance work, indicating compliance with regulatory requirements for building improvements. While the recent history shows a pattern of mechanical and infrastructure issues requiring attention, particularly regarding water systems and safety devices, the absence of bedbug infestations and successful rodent inspections suggest effective pest management practices are in place.
