109-45 142nd Street, Queens, NY 11435

This two-family house located at 109-45 142nd Street in Jamaica, built in 1930 and currently owned by Aicha Ziba, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past few years. The most significant recent concern occurred in October 2020, when a sewage-related unsanitary condition was reported and classified as an emergency, though no violations were ultimately issued following HPD inspection.

In 2018, there were multiple incidents requiring attention: two separate electrical issues (lighting and outlet/switch problems) were reported and promptly resolved within ten days, while a pavement-related issue outside the building resulted in HPD violations being issued. Of particular concern was a series of emergency egress complaints filed in December 2018, indicating potential safety concerns regarding locked or blocked means of escape; while one complaint resulted in an OATH violation being served, the immediate safety risk appears to have been addressed quickly.

Additional complaints entered in 2023 include an emergency egress complaint regarding locked/blocked/ improper means that appears to have been directly related to the earlier 2018 incidents, and a general fence issue, though both were ultimately closed without violations being confirmed through inspection. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of both urgent and non-urgent issues being reported and addressed, with most complaints being resolved relatively quickly. While some violations were issued in 2018, particularly regarding outside pavement conditions, most subsequent complaints were either closed without violations or resulted in prompt corrections being verified by HPD.
