155-17 Sanford Avenue, Queens, NY 11355
155-17 Sanford Avenue is a 6-story, 36-unit New Law Tenement building constructed in 1928 in Flushing, currently owned by George Michelis. The building has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing being a building-wide heat and hot water outage in December 2024 that was not able to be inspected by HPD inspectors due to lack of access to units. Prior to this, in May 2024, there was an indoor air quality complaint regarding chemical vapors that resulted in an advisory to the property management.
Historical records show various maintenance issues have persisted over time, including multiple violations related to bedbug reporting requirements in 2023 and 2024 (though recent filings show no infestations), and three separate Environmental Control Board violations in late 2024 regarding sidewalk shed maintenance that resulted in fines totaling $5,900. The building has undergone periodic inspections and repairs, with some recurring issues documented. In 2022, HPD inspected and closed complaints regarding ceiling and floor conditions without issuing violations.
Earlier records from 2002-2007 show various violations and maintenance issues in specific apartments, particularly apartment 1D, which experienced multiple problems including vermin, defective plaster surfaces, and flooring issues, all of which were certified as corrected by 2018. The building has maintained compliance with annual bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, with no reported infestations in recent years. While permits have been regularly issued for various maintenance work, the most recent active DOB violation from December 2024 pertains to failure to display energy efficiency information, which remains unresolved.
