146-11 Lakewood Avenue, Queens, NY 11435

The three-story property at 146-11 Lakewood Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Leslyn Brewley, was constructed in 1925 and currently contains 3 units. The building has experienced several concerning maintenance issues in recent years, with the most significant cluster of complaints occurring in July 2023, when multiple reports of unsanitary conditions involving pests and mold were filed with the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

While HPD conducted inspections in response to these complaints, no violations were issued, and the complaints were ultimately closed. In the same month, there was also a heat and hot water complaint affecting the entire building, though HPD was unable to gain access to inspect the reported conditions. The property has recurring issues with bedbug reporting compliance, as evidenced by four open violations between 2021-2024, each documenting the owner's failure to file the required annual bedbug report as mandated by the Housing Maintenance Code.

These violations remain open as of April 2024. Additionally, there was a complaint regarding defective/exposed electrical wiring at an adjacent address (114-35 Lakewood Avenue) in September 2023, which was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on the second final attempt. While some of these issues have been addressed through inspections, the ongoing bedbug reporting violation and the pattern of recent unsanitary conditions suggest persistent maintenance challenges at this property.
