120-14 178th Place, Queens, NY 11434

The two-family house at 120-14 178th Place in Jamaica, built in 1932 and currently owned by Hossain Ali, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular emphasis on problems in the second-floor apartment (Apartment 2). As of March 2025, there are multiple open violations including significant mold issues (greater than 10 square feet) affecting multiple bathroom surfaces including the south and north walls and ceiling, as well as problems with the carbon monoxide detector system and defective ceramic wall tiles in the bathroom.

The building has also faced numerous maintenance challenges between 2020 and 2025, including heating and hot water issues (December 2024 complaint), multiple unsuccessful inspections related to appliance problems, unsanitary conditions, electrical concerns, plumbing issues, and a significant water leak problem documented in 2020 involving multiple violations in Apartment 1. The pattern of complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly regarding mold remediation and various infrastructure systems.

While some complaints have been resolved without violations, such as the refrigerator issue in 2020 and electrical wiring concerns, the persistent nature of certain problems - especially the recent mold violations and heating system issues - indicates these remain areas of concern. It's worth noting that several of the most recent complaints (2024-2025) were either not accessible for inspection or resulted in no violations being found, though this may not necessarily indicate the absence of problems. The building's history also shows a mix of emergency and non-emergency complaints, with several violations from 2020-2025 still showing as unresolved or open.
