140-20 184th Street, Queens, NY 11413

The two-family house at 140-20 184th Street in Springfield Gardens, built in 1950 and currently owned by Arman Kohan, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, with the most pressing concerns centering around heating systems and unsanitary conditions. Most recently, in November 2024, there was an emergency heat/hot water complaint that was promptly resolved within one day. The building has had multiple heat/hot water-related complaints between 2018 and 2024, though inspections often found that the issues were resolved by the time of HPD's response.

Significant maintenance concerns emerged in 2023, particularly in Apartment 2, which experienced multiple violations including mold (both visible and requiring abatement), pest infestations (specifically mice), and various structural and safety issues such as broken door frames and defective electrical systems. These violations, though serious, were subsequently addressed and closed, with certification of compliance recorded between April and June 2023. Historically, the building has faced challenges with rodent control, as evidenced by failed inspections in 2018, 2010, and 2009, though the most recent bedbug reports from 2025 show no infestations during the past three reporting periods.

The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no active infestations reported since 2021. While the building has demonstrated responsiveness to individual complaints and violations, the recurring nature of heating system issues and periodic pest control challenges suggests ongoing maintenance needs. The most recent bedbug reporting period (2024-2025) shows no current infestation issues, marking a positive trend in this area.
