107-19 Sutphin Boulevard, Queens, NY 11435

The 6-unit, 3-story building at 107-19 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, owned by Kevin Howard, has been in operation since 1899 and currently holds a "HEREAFTER CONVERTED CLASS A" designation. The property has experienced several significant maintenance issues, with the most pressing concerns concentrated in Apartment 1A, which has multiple open violations as of 2024.

These include a serious mold condition in the bathroom covering multiple surfaces (upgraded to Class C), broken mechanical ventilation systems in both the bathroom and kitchen, and various other maintenance issues including defective door hardware, floor tiles, and refrigerator gasket. The building has also faced plumbing-related complaints in early 2023 involving both the toilet and bathtub/shower, though these were investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development who found no violations.

More recently, as of 2025, the building has maintained a clean record regarding bedbug infestations, with all annual reports since 2019 showing zero infested or re-infested units, suggesting effective pest management protocols. The property's emergency and routine maintenance history shows a pattern of addressing infrastructure issues, but the persistence of multiple open violations as of July 2024, particularly related to ventilation and moisture problems in Apartment 1A, indicates ongoing maintenance challenges. The various open violations cited under multiple sections of the Housing Maintenance Code and Administrative Code point to systematic maintenance needs that require attention across different systems including plumbing, ventilation, and interior surfaces.
