145-18 Tuskegee Airmen Way, Queens, NY 11435

145-18 Tuskegee Airmen Way is a 2-story, 4-unit New Law Tenement building located in Jamaica, Queens, built in 1932 and currently owned by Edith Higdon. The building has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2025, including problems with lighting, pest issues, and appliance malfunctions, all of which went unresolved due to inaccessible inspections.

In late 2021, there was a notable cluster of heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with three separate emergency complaints filed between December 1-24, though these were subsequently closed. Earlier issues include multiple water leak complaints (both slow and heavy flow) and electrical wiring problems in December 2022, which also went uninspected due to access issues. The building's maintenance history shows an ongoing pattern of access-related inspection failures, impacting the resolution of various complaints from heating to electrical systems.

While there have been some violations noted, particularly regarding bedbug reporting requirements (with the most recent open violation from April 2024), recent bedbug filings show no reported infestations between November 2021 and October 2022. The property has also experienced pest-related issues, with non-emergency complaints about pests in both 2025 and 2020. Overall, the building's record suggests persistent maintenance challenges, particularly regarding system access for inspections and timely resolution of reported problems, though many issues have been classified as non-emergency rather than immediate safety concerns.
