114-31 144th Street, Queens, NY 11436

The two-family house at 114-31 144th Street in Jamaica, owned by Asad Bajwa, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly between 2018-2019. Most notably, in late 2019, there were multiple reports of heat and hot water problems affecting the building, which were classified as emergency complaints and required HPD intervention. One unit in the building, identified as Apartment 2, experienced a substantial cluster of issues in September 2019, leading to multiple Housing Maintenance Code violations.

These included problems with door functionality, electrical outlets, mold presence, plaster surfaces, plumbing fixtures, and signs of pest infestations involving mice, roaches, and flies throughout the apartment. The building has also faced recurring pest control challenges, with multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions and pests reported through HPD in 2018-2019, though some inspection attempts were unsuccessful due to access issues. An inspection in December 2018 specifically focused on rodent conditions, which was passed, suggesting some improvement in pest management.

The property, built in 1950, is a two-story structure containing two units and has experienced various maintenance issues typical of older buildings, including plumbing problems, electrical concerns, and interior maintenance needs. While many of the violations from 2019 appear to have been addressed and closed, the clustering of issues during that period indicates there was a period of significant disrepair that affected resident comfort and safety. Since these documented issues occurred, there are no recorded complaints or violations in the available data from 2020 through October 2023, though this does not necessarily guarantee that no further issues have arisen since that time.
