81-37 Lefferts Boulevard, Queens, NY 11415

The three-story, two-family house at 81-37 Lefferts Boulevard in Kew Gardens, built in 1931 and currently owned by Muhammed Arif, has an alarming pattern of regulatory non-compliance and access issues over the past five years. Most notably, there are five active violations related to External Low Pressure Inspections spanning 2022 to 2023, and one violation from 2019 concerning the failure to file the 2017 Annual Boiler Inspection Report.

The building has shown repeated difficulties with inspection access, as evidenced by two separate incidents in 2024 and 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain entry - one related to unpermitted work in a multiple dwelling and another involving Local Law 188/17 compliance inspections. The property has demonstrated a concerning pattern of missing required inspections, particularly regarding the boiler and low-pressure system, which are critical for resident safety and building systems maintenance.

Most recent complaints and violations, which have remained unresolved as of mid-2025, suggest ongoing challenges with regulatory compliance and building access, though it's worth noting some of these violations appear to relate to inspections rather than active hazards. While the building's age is typical for the neighborhood, the frequency and nature of these violations could indicate potential maintenance oversight.
