116-49 Farmers Boulevard, Queens, NY 11412

The three-story, three-unit building at 116-49 Farmers Boulevard in St. Albans, owned by 116 Farmers Development Corp and constructed in 2005, has experienced several notable issues over recent years.

Most recently, in December 2024, there were heating system problems affecting the entire building, leading to violations from the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) regarding inadequate heat supply and boiler room access, with these violations currently remaining open. The building has had an ongoing requirement to file annual bedbug reports with HPD, with violations noted in 2021, 2022, 2023, and most recently in April 2024 regarding this requirement. The property has experienced multiple maintenance issues requiring HPD intervention, particularly in 2021 when there were multiple complaints about various building conditions including door/window problems, flooring issues, and wall conditions, most of which could not be properly inspected due to access issues.

In 2018, there were several plumbing-related complaints involving toilets, sinks, and bathtubs/showers, all marked as emergencies but also with access issues preventing proper inspection. A rodent inspection in early 2022 initially failed for unspecified reasons, though a subsequent compliance inspection passed. The most concerning current issues appear to be the ongoing heating system problems and the open violations related to heat supply and boiler room access, which directly impact resident comfort and safety.
