147-05 Sanford Avenue, Queens, NY 11355

The 6-story, 62-unit residential building at 147-05 Sanford Avenue in Flushing, owned by Hs Brothers Ii Corp, has undergone several maintenance challenges since 2021. Most recently, in June 2025, two paint/plaster complaints regarding walls and cabinets were submitted and remain open. In August 2024, the building faced multiple maintenance issues that were documented but mostly addressed by HPD inspections, including violations related to flooring repairs, ceiling maintenance, and various other repairs in a specific third-floor apartment (3C).

This apartment had several violations that were later certified as corrected, including issues with plastered surfaces, tile floors, kitchen cabinet damage, and the need for smoke and carbon monoxide detector installation. A significant building-wide incident occurred in December 2022 when there was a heat and hot water outage, though services were reportedly restored shortly thereafter. The building has two active Department of Buildings violations, one from 2019 regarding FISP Cycle 8C Technical Report filing and another from 2024 concerning EER submission requirements.

An elevator complaint from January 2023 was investigated but found to have no warrant for violation at the time of inspection. Importantly, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports from 2018 through 2023 showing zero infested units, zero eradicated units, and zero re-infested units. The property, built in 1960, has undergone typical urban building maintenance processes, with recent issues primarily focusing on interior repairs and system maintenance rather than structural concerns.
