119-26 153rd Street, Queens, NY 11434

The two-family house at 119-26 153rd Street in Jamaica, owned by Shahana Aqter and built in 2006, has experienced several maintenance issues in 2025 that warrant attention. Most notably, there was a heat and hot water outage in January 2025, though these services were reportedly restored during the HPD inspection.

The building has since faced multiple ongoing maintenance challenges, with three separate complaints made in March 2025 regarding a refrigerator, wall issues (paint/plaster), and toilet problems, all of which HPD was unable to inspect and resolve. Additionally, there were multiple violations issued in January 2025 related to plumbing (including toilet issues), mailbox concerns, and a water leak involving a basin/sink, though some of these complaints were inspected and found not to violate housing laws.

The property has also encountered several construction-related issues in March 2025, including complaints about illegal after-hours work, lack of permits, and potential grade/watercourse changes, leading to a Full Stop Work Order being served. These construction-related complaints, along with the building's various plumbing, heating, and maintenance issues, suggest ongoing challenges with property upkeep and building systems. While some complaints have been resolved or closed, the pattern of recurring issues, particularly with water and heating systems, indicates persistent maintenance challenges at this property.
