158-10 Sanford Avenue, Queens, NY 11358

The four-story, 20-unit New Law Tenement at 158-10 Sanford Avenue in Flushing, owned by John Triolo and built in 1926, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over recent years. Most recently, in January 2025, there was a heat and hot water complaint for an individual apartment that HPD investigated but determined did not violate housing laws.

This follows a pattern of heating system challenges, including a building-wide heat and hot water complaint in May 2020 that was resolved quickly according to tenant reports. The property has also faced indoor air quality concerns, with multiple complaints filed in 2021 that resulted in advisories to the management, though exact nature of these issues is not detailed in the records. The building's history shows some environmental challenges as evidenced by two rat activity inspections in 2023 (April and June), following a clean inspection in 2014.

Positive aspects of the building's recent history include an impeccable record for bedbug infestations, with all eight annual inspections from 2019 through May 2025 reporting zero incidents of infestation, eradication, or reinfestation. While there have been multiple smoking-related complaints in 2021, records indicate these issues were addressed and administratively closed. The property's maintenance history suggests consistent responsiveness to tenant complaints, though the recurring nature of heating system issues and air quality concerns may warrant attention.
