149-17 115th Avenue, Queens, NY 11436

This two-family residence at 149-17 115th Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Mohammed Islam and constructed in 2005, has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly between late 2020 and 2021. The most significant and recurring problems during this period involved heat and hot water deficiencies, with multiple complaints filed through HPD in October and November 2021, some of which resulted in violations being issued.

These HVAC-related issues appear to have persisted beyond 2021, with additional violations for inadequate heat and hot water supply documented in 2021-2022. More recently, in August 2024, the building faced several maintenance challenges, including reports of unsanitary conditions with pests, appliance issues with the refrigerator and stove, and concerns about flooring.

The current open violations from August 2024 in apartment 1 include defective wood flooring and kitchen cabinet issues, as well as a Class B violation related to rodent infestation. Notably, there was also a complaint regarding an illegal conversion at a nearby address in 2021, though the inspector was unable to gain access for verification. While the building is relatively new with only two families, the documented history suggests recurring issues with essential services and ongoing maintenance needs, particularly affecting the first apartment and the building's heating and hot water systems.
