158-16 Sanford Avenue, Queens, NY 11358

The four-story New Law Tenement at 158-16 Sanford Avenue in Flushing, owned by Nicola Lazzaruolo and built in 1926, has experienced several significant events in recent years that warrant attention. Most notably, in January 2024, the building faced a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building, though these services were reportedly restored shortly after the complaint was filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development.

This incident, categorized as an emergency under the Housing Maintenance Code, represents the most recent disruption to basic services in the building. The property has demonstrated consistent pest management success, with bedbug reporting records from 2020 through 2024 showing zero instances of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation across the 20 units, indicating effective pest control measures have been maintained over multiple years.

However, in the spring of 2023, inspections revealed mixed results regarding rodent activity - an initial inspection in April 2023 identified rat activity, while a subsequent compliance inspection in June 2023 reported passing results, suggesting temporary rodent issues were addressed. The building's overall maintenance record shows periodic issues with basic services that were typically resolved promptly, though residents experienced a notable service disruption in early 2024.
