144-33 25th Drive, Queens, NY 11354

The three-story, two-family house at 144-33 25th Drive in Flushing, owned by Charles Lucas, has experienced multiple maintenance issues throughout 2024, with particular clusters of problems between December 2023 and March 2024. The building, constructed in 1960, has documented violations related to unsanitary conditions, including mold and pest infestations, with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) issuing violations during inspections conducted in late February 2024.

Water-related issues are prominent, with both heavy and slow water leaks reported, and separate complaints about garbage/recycling storage and ventilation systems have also been logged. The building faced rodent-related concerns in early May 2024, though HPD's 2024 inspections found no violations regarding refrigerator and electric/gas range issues, which were also reported. The property has had numerous general maintenance complaints, including problems with door/window access, ceiling paint/plaster, and bell/buzzer/intercom systems, many of which were categorized as non-emergency except for the door-related complaint.

The timeline of issues suggests a building experiencing multiple systems needing attention, particularly during late 2023 and early 2024, with some complaints warranting emergency status. While many of these issues have been documented as closed, the presence of repeated complaints regarding unsanitary conditions and water-related problems indicates ongoing maintenance challenges within the building. The most recent documented health concern was a rodent issue in May 2024, which the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found warranted violations requiring follow-up inspections, suggesting this may be an ongoing concern requiring further monitoring.
