106-35 Sutphin Boulevard, Queens, NY 11435

The two-family residence at 106-35 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, owned by Bjorn Symister, is a 2-story building constructed in 1920 that has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent years. Most recently, in May 2024, there was a pest-related violation issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), marking the building's second unsanitary condition complaint in the past two years. The summer of 2023 was particularly problematic, with multiple safety and maintenance concerns emerging simultaneously.

These included violations related to a carbon monoxide detector, a broken window guard, and issues with walls requiring both paint/plaster work and ventilation system attention. There were also two separate complaints about heating and hot water issues in September 2023, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspection in one instance. Additional concerns during this period involved door-related problems, with some complaints requiring emergency attention.

The building's inspection history reveals a mixture of resolved and ongoing concerns. While HPD was able to address many of the issues through inspections and violation notices, including some that were classified as non-emergency, the pattern of complaints suggests recurring maintenance challenges. Notably, several complaints were filed in quick succession during July 2023, indicating a period of concentrated tenant concern. The most recent complaint from May 2024 suggests that maintenance issues have persisted into 2024, though the specific nature of this violation was not detailed in the available records.
