170-04 118th Avenue, Queens, NY 11434

The two-family house at 170-04 118th Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Dror Lazari, has had a number of significant maintenance issues recorded throughout 2019, most notably in March through May. The building experienced multiple emergencies related to heat and hot water systems, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with violations issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD). There were also serious issues with pest infestations in February and March, with documented violations. The property has shown persistent maintenance challenges, including water leaks, ceiling damage, and window frame issues in Apartment 1.

Particularly concerning was a violation issued in March 2019 regarding the illegal use of attic space for sleeping, which was subsequently documented as an Environmental Control Board violation, though the inspection attempt was unsuccessful. Several housing violations remained open as of mid-2019, including issues with carbon monoxide detectors in Apartment 2NDFL and concerns about an illegally fastened double-cylinder lock on the building's entrance gate. In terms of structural and safety concerns, the building is documented with multiple instances of water-related issues, including slow leaks reported in various complaints throughout 2019. Several housing maintenance code violations were issued, particularly focusing on inadequate repairs to ceilings and walls, though many of these were subsequently closed following repairs.

The building's age (constructed in 1930) and the nature of these violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges that have required consistent attention. A complaint regarding illegal conversion was submitted in March 2019, though this was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on the second final attempt. While many of the violations were addressed and closed by mid-2019, there were instances of both open and closed violations during this period, indicating a period of active maintenance requirements. The last documented building violation in this dataset from September 2019 was ultimately dismissed in December 2019.
