9-10 Dinsmore Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

The 37-unit, 4-story building at 9-10 Dinsmore Avenue in Far Rockaway, owned by Mustafa Sadik, has experienced recurring maintenance issues throughout recent years, particularly in 2024 and 2023. Most notably, in July 2024, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently closed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding various issues including plumbing problems with radiators and sink basins, unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold, and maintenance concerns related to walls, ceilings, and appliances.

The building has also faced significant maintenance challenges as evidenced by open housing maintenance code violations from October 2023 related to multiple water leaks and plaster surface issues in apartment 3C, as well as documented problems in apartment 2J regarding peeling paint and water leaks from January 2024. The property has a history of compliance issues requiring attention to building safety and maintenance standards, including multiple violations related to energy efficiency documentation requirements in 2024 and 2021, though these violations were subsequently dismissed.

While the building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations (with zero cases reported in annual filings from 2022 through 2025), rodent inspections conducted in 2016 and 2018 showed inconsistent results, with failures noted in 2018. Recent inspections and service requests suggest ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly in plumbing and structural elements, though many recent HPD inspections resulted in no violations being issued, indicating some issues may have been addressed promptly.
