112-19 Farmers Boulevard, Queens, NY 11412

The two-family house at 112-19 Farmers Boulevard in St. Albans, owned by Robert Routier, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues over the past year, with the most significant problems occurring in 2023. The building has documented multiple sanitary concerns, including recent complaints about pests and mold in August 2023 that resulted in violations being issued by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

Earlier in 2023, there were several interconnected issues reported in June, including problems with water leaks, radiator heating systems, ceiling paint/plaster, and additional mold problems, all of which resulted in violations. The building experienced three separate instances of heat and hot water problems in February 2023, categorized as emergencies, though HPD was unable to gain access for inspections in some cases. A more serious building-wide concern was documented in November 2019, when a violation was issued for the failure to file the annual boiler inspection report for 2017, which remains active as of now.

The property has shown a concerning pattern of maintenance issues over the past 18 months, particularly with regard to sanitation and heating systems. While many of the HPD complaints have been closed, they typically resulted in violations being issued, indicating ongoing maintenance challenges. The building's age (constructed in 1930) combined with these recent issues suggests potential infrastructure concerns that may affect resident comfort and safety. It's worth noting that a few complaints, particularly regarding lighting and the electrical system, were closed without violations being issued.
