143-33 Sanford Avenue, Queens, NY 11355
143-33 Sanford Avenue is a 6-story, 180-unit residential building constructed in 1960 and currently owned by Phil Karahalis. The building has experienced ongoing maintenance challenges in recent years, with multiple HPD complaints and violations relating to various issues.
Most notably, between March and June 2025, there were multiple closed complaints regarding unsanitary conditions (pests), appliance issues (refrigerator and electric/gas range), and interior maintenance (ceiling paint/plaster) - though inspections found most conditions did not violate HPD housing laws, except for the ceiling issue which received violations. Earlier incidents include heating system problems in March 2023 affecting the entire building, multiple water supply complaints between 2023-2024, and various issues in Apartment A25 requiring attention to doors, floors, and plaster surfaces. The building's elevator system has been a recurring focus of concern, with several violations documented between 2020-2022 regarding maintenance and safety features, including missing door lock monitoring and brake maintenance issues.
There have been three bedbug incidents reported between 2022-2024, though all affected units were reported as eradicated. Sanitation issues persist, with rodent activity noted during inspections in 2018-2021, and the building's civil court history shows multiple ECB violations and fines related to elevator safety and maintenance, though most have been resolved. The property has undergone various inspections and received multiple violation notices for safety equipment, door repairs, and other maintenance needs, with the most recent inspection in June 2024 resulting in several Class C violations concerning fire safety doors and damaged terrazzo flooring.
