145-34 123rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11436

The two-family residential building at 145-34 123rd Avenue in Jamaica, currently owned by Dindyal Singh, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past three years (2022-2023). Most concerning are recurring problems with heat and hot water, with multiple HPD complaints in 2022-2023, including two emergency complaints in October 2022, for which violations were issued, and another emergency complaint in November 2022 with violations citing inadequate heat and hot water supply in the second-floor apartment.

The building has also faced electrical problems, including power outages and inadequate lighting issues, with violations issued in late 2022 for unsafe electric service to bathroom fixtures and bedroom outlets. Multiple complaints about the electric/gas range and ceiling issues were recorded in 2022, with some resulting in violations. The property has generated various complaints regarding building systems and maintenance in recent years, including three inspection attempts in December 2022 regarding the boiler, gas piping, and illegal conversion complaints, though inspectors were unable to gain access.

The Department of Buildings recorded a separate illegal conversion complaint in December 2022, which was still under investigation as of April 2023. While the building had passed rodent inspections in 2014, 2018, and 2022, the recent history suggests ongoing challenges with basic services and maintenance that may affect resident comfort and safety. The most recent HPD complaint, regarding heat and hot water issues, was filed in February 2023, though inspectors were reportedly unable to gain access to verify the condition.
