114-28 148th Street, Queens, NY 11436

The two-family house at 114-28 148th Street in Jamaica, owned by Bibi Khan, has experienced recurring heating and hot water system issues over the past several years, with multiple emergency complaints filed between December 2018 and February 2019. The New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) received seven separate heat and hot water-related complaints during this period, with three specifically documenting violations issued on December 26, 2018, related to inadequate heat and hot water supply in the 1st floor apartment (PH), and one violation regarding gas supply to kitchen fixtures.

Two additional violations were recorded for the 2nd floor apartment regarding heating system adequacy and carbon monoxide detector issues. While some complaints received quick resolution, with heat and hot water being restored according to tenant reports, the persistence of these issues over several months suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge. The building underwent inspections in response to various complaints, with several instances of inspectors being unable to gain access to units during December 2018 and February 2019 inspections.

A general cooking gas complaint was also filed in December 2018, though access for inspection was again not granted. A subsequent Department of Buildings inspection in March 2019 resulted in no violations being warranted, though it should be noted that this inspection occurred after the peak of the heating system complaints. The property, built in 1930 and classified as a two-family house, appears to have experienced concentrated utility-related issues during the winter months of late 2018 to early 2019, with no documented complaints of this nature in the years since.
