147-17 Sanford Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The three-family house at 147-17 Sanford Avenue in Flushing, owned by Huynh Tui, is a three-story building constructed in 1955. The most significant issues on record for this property occurred during the winter of 2019-2020, when there were three separate incidents involving heat and hot water complaints that resulted in emergency code violations.

The first complaint was made on December 12, 2019, regarding lack of heat or hot water affecting the entire building, and although inspectors responded, they were unable to gain access to any apartments for verification. This was followed by another complaint on December 13, 2019, specifically about apartment-only heat and hot water issues, which again resulted in access problems for inspectors.

The situation escalated to a similar complaint on January 5, 2020, and while inspectors were informed that heat and hot water had been restored, they noted that a new complaint should be filed if problems persisted. All three complaints were officially closed, but the pattern of heating system failures over this short period is notable, even though there have been no reported heating or hot water issues in the subsequent years leading up to July 2025.
