176-27 137th Avenue, Queens, NY 11434

The two-family house at 176-27 137th Avenue in Jamaica, constructed in 2016 and owned by Jasbir Thind, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past three years that require attention. Most notably, in late 2023 and early 2024, the building faced multiple housing code violations related to water damage and mold, including approximately 60 square feet of mold at the ceiling in the first-story public hall stairs.

Inspections in December 2023 revealed ongoing issues with water leaks affecting various areas, including the ceiling in Apartment 2's bathroom and windows, along with problems with window frames and plaster surfaces. In February 2024, the property received a rodent-related violation from the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, with inspections in March 2024 confirming continued pest control challenges. Earlier issues from 2022 included two separate complaints regarding heat and hot water problems affecting different areas of the building, though inspections either found no violations or access issues.

During 2022, there was also a complaint about garbage/recycling storage conditions that could not be inspected. The building's history also shows inspection-related problems in 2018-2019 regarding Certificate of Occupancy concerns, though inspectors were unable to gain access for two final attempts, and no violations were recorded following subsequent inspections. The most recent inspection record from December 2023 indicates multiple open violations related to building maintenance, including the need for repairs to address water damage, mold, and maintain proper plaster surfaces, while previous complaints from November 2023 regarding unsanitary conditions and paint/plaster issues were resolved through various inspection outcomes.
