122-18 172nd Street, Queens, NY 11434

The property at 122-18 172nd Street in Jamaica is a two-family, two-story house built in 2004, currently owned by Ilya Zavolunov. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues, with the most significant problems centering around unsanitary conditions, particularly mold and pest infestations, during the 2024-2025 period. Between March 2024 and April 2025, there were multiple complaints about mold, water leaks, and pest problems, with at least eight unsanitary condition reports related to mold and pests.

Two separate 311 complaints in 2025 specifically cited mold issues that went uninspected by HPD in March 2025. In August 2024, a comprehensive inspection identified several violations in the first-floor apartment, including the need to repair plastered surfaces, address mold conditions, and fix issues with carbon monoxide detectors. Structural concerns were also raised during this period, with reports of building shaking/vibrating and cracked surfaces at the main entrance. An ECB violation was issued regarding water penetration issues at the entrance door sill.

Recent maintenance complaints from May to June 2025 have included electrical, plumbing, flooring, and door issues, though most were resolved within a few weeks. The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of recurring issues, particularly during the last three years. However, it's worth noting that the property has consistently reported zero bedbug incidents in annual filings from 2020 through 2024, and passed rodent inspections in 2015, though earlier inspections in 2013 showed some compliance failures for other reasons. The varied nature of complaints and violations suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, with particular attention needed to persistent mold and pest issues that have been documented over multiple reporting periods.
