133-47 Sanford Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The 13-story, 58-unit Sanford Tower Condominium at 133-47 Sanford Avenue in Flushing, owned by Gary Ng, was constructed in 2000 and has experienced several recurring maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there have been multiple heat and hot water outages affecting the entire building, with incidents reported in January 2024, October 2022, and December 2019, though heat and hot water were reportedly restored in response to complaints. There have also been two significant water leak incidents in 2024 and 2022, with the most recent complaint filed in August 2024 regarding heavy flow conditions.

The building is currently facing an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2024 regarding the failure to submit the required parking structure initial observation report, with an imposed penalty of $2,530.00. A substantial balcony repair project was undertaken in late 2023, during which two violations were issued against Greentech Construction Co. for failing to safeguard affected areas and for inadequate tenant protection measures, with penalties totaling $7,530.00.

The building's management has maintained an active bedbug prevention program, with no reported infestations or re-infestations in the past five years. Recent regulatory compliance efforts include successful inspections under Local Law 188/17 in 2023 and 2024, though some violations from 2022 remain open regarding required postings in public areas. The property has generally passed inspections for rodent control, and historical records show various repairs and maintenance issues being addressed, including multiple elevator and electrical system inspections between 2018-2019.
