The building at 136-30 Sanford Avenue in Flushing is a 6-story, 84-unit Class A multiple dwelling constructed in 1956, currently owned by Susan Sipos. The property has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues in recent years, with multiple complaints between 2023 and 2025, including three emergency complaints in May 2025 alone. There is also an ongoing violation as of November 2024 related to missing safety postings, including carbon monoxide detector requirements and the name and contact information for building management.

The building has shown multiple maintenance challenges, including water leaks, mold issues, and problems with doors and windows. A significant cluster of complaints was recorded in October 2024 involving paint/plaster issues, heavy water flow, mold, and ceiling problems, though HPD inspections were generally unable to complete inspections during this period. The building's regulatory history shows several active violations regarding the display of energy efficiency scores and grades, as well as failures to file required inspection documentation between 2021-2024.

There have been persistent concerns about illegal conversions, with multiple complaints filed between 2021-2024, though inspections often resulted in access denial or no violations being found at the time of inspection. Elevator service issues were documented in 2023 and throughout 2021, though investigations typically found no violations at the time. The unit's interior conditions were notably problematic in 2024, with violations including missing smoke detectors, non-functioning refrigerator door gaskets, and reports of roach infestation in apartment 3A. While the building has undergone various inspections and corrections, particularly in 2024, multiple violations remain outstanding as of October 2023, suggesting ongoing maintenance and compliance challenges.
