145-71 157th Street, Queens, NY 11434

The two-family house at 145-71 157th Street in Springfield Gardens, owned by Arman Kohan, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues since 2016. Between 2018 and 2019, there were multiple complaints regarding building stability concerns, including vibrations and shaking, with at least one resulting in an Oath Violation being served.

The property faced substantial structural issues in 2019-2021, particularly involving the front steps, walls, and garage structure, with multiple Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations noting problems such as cracked handrails, leaning walls, and disrepair of masonry elements. These violations resulted in fines totaling over $15,000, though records show they were ultimately resolved. The building's maintenance history reveals persistent problems, with numerous failures to certify corrections for immediately hazardous violations throughout 2019-2021, including issues with building walls and appurtenances.

There were also three separate Department of Buildings violations in 2020 regarding failure to certify corrections, though these were dismissed. The property has a documented history of rodent inspections from 2016-2017, all of which resulted in failures for various reasons. While the majority of these violations have been resolved, the building's maintenance record indicates a pattern of delayed responses to structural and safety concerns, particularly during the 2019-2021 period when multiple ECB violations were issued for failure to maintain building walls and steps in a code-compliant manner.
