Augrented Insights Report for 144-44 Sanford Avenue

The 6-story, 54-unit Sanford Apartment building in Flushing, constructed in 1928, has experienced significant maintenance issues in recent years, with particular concerns about heating and hot water systems. In December 2024 alone, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding no heat or hot water across the entire building, with at least three violations issued in December 2024 related to heating system failures and hot water temperature issues in Apartment 1C. The building has a documented history of elevator-related problems, with violations recorded in 2019 and 2021 regarding service outages, safety features, and compliance issues, resulting in multiple ECB violations with significant penalties.

More recent concerns include several open violations from December 2024, such as problems with self-closing doors, heating systems, and accumulated refuse in the yard area. The building has undergone inspections for bedbugs and rodent activity, with the most recent bedbug reports (2023-2024) showing no infested units, though there was a complete infestation in 2022 affecting all 54 units that required eradication. Multiple rodent baiting inspections were conducted in 2019, indicating historical pest control challenges.

Other notable issues include various building maintenance violations such as a broken intercom system, defective locks, and concerns about emergency egress. The building's management has faced scrutiny for failing to promptly certify corrections of hazardous violations in 2019-2020, resulting in multiple violation notices. As of the latest available data, there are also active complaints regarding water retention/ drainage issues from June 2025, as well as outstanding violations related to energy efficiency score display requirements from 2021.
