159-10 Sanford Avenue, Queens, NY 11358
The 16-unit, 4-story New Law Tenement building at 159-10 Sanford Avenue in Flushing, owned by Giuseppe Ferrara, has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent months, particularly between December 2024 and March 2025. The property currently has several open violations from a December 2024 inspection of Apartment 4C, including problems with roof leaks, ceiling damage, window counterbalances, floor tiles, bathroom fixtures, electrical wiring, and various plaster and paint issues. Between February and March 2025, multiple service requests were made regarding plumbing (including steam pipes and radiators), pest infestations, mold, and ceiling maintenance, with some violations being issued during inspections.
While most recent complaints have been addressed and closed, the building's maintenance history shows recurring issues with water damage, pest control, and building systems. The building's maintenance record shows some historical concerns worth noting. In 2024, there was one Class C violation related to a door self-closing device at the main entrance.
Previous complaints in 2019 and 2021 regarding illegal curb cuts and driveway modifications were investigated, with some resulting in oath violations. However, the property has maintained a clean record for bedbug infestations, with multiple inspection periods showing zero infested or re-infested units between 2021 and 2024. The Department of Buildings issued a violation in 2019 regarding a broken curb cut, which was resolved with no penalties. While the building is over 95 years old, it has generally complied with bedbug reporting requirements and environmental control board regulations, though recent housing maintenance code violations suggest ongoing maintenance challenges.
