144-23 105th Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The three-story, two-unit building at 144-23 105th Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Denise Lawrence and constructed in 1910, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years, particularly relating to heat and water supply. In early 2023, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water affecting the entire building, with violations confirmed through inspections despite access issues.

Additional concerns during this period included unsanitary conditions in garbage storage areas and water supply plumbing issues, though no violations were recorded in these latter cases. More recently, as of July 2024, the building has accumulated several open violations primarily related to safety and maintenance requirements, including the need to post important safety notices regarding carbon monoxide detection, gas leak procedures, and bedbug reporting.

There is also an open Class B violation regarding visible mold conditions in the cellar (approximately 10 square feet), which was upgraded in March 2023 from its original Class A status. Other notable violations from 2023 include the need to repair the bathroom entrance door in Apartment 1 and issues with an illegal double-cylinder lock at the metal gate. The building currently has multiple open Class A violations as of July 2024, including requirements to maintain proper notices about housing information guides and building registration details.
