Augrented Insights Report for 144-54 Sanford Avenue

The 180-unit, 6-story building at 144-54 Sanford Avenue in Flushing, built in 1952 and currently owned by Anton Lekic, has faced recurring maintenance challenges between 2023-2025, with a notable pattern of heat and hot water complaints. The most recent issue, reported in March 2025, involved unsanitary conditions with pests, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. During 2023-2024, there were multiple heating system complaints affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with most issues reportedly resolved upon inspection.

The building has experienced ongoing issues with windows, including frame defects andpane problems, and plumbing concerns related to radiators. A significant security and safety concern arose in 2024 regarding the building's vestibule door locking mechanisms, with multiple violations issued for illegal electromagnetic locking devices and inadequate mechanical security features during power outages. The property has also faced administrative challenges, including violations for failure to submit required external low-pressure inspection reports in 2018, 2019, and 2022.

In apartment 50, several violations were documented in 2024 regarding maintenance of plastered surfaces and ventilation fan repairs, though some of these were subsequently certified as corrected. The building's elevator system was cited for lacking alternate service in 2021, and there were environmental control board violations in 2021-2022 related to exterior wall reporting requirements. On a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations in the past seven reporting periods (2018-2024), and passed rodent compliance inspections in 2019 and 2020, with only one failure noted for "other reasons" in 2019.
