111-22 Springfield Blvd, Queens, NY 11429

The two-story, four-unit building at 111-22 Springfield Blvd in Queens Village, owned by Nora Ugarte and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Between October and December 2022, the property underwent substantial maintenance challenges, particularly affecting apartment 1B, which faced multiple violations including unsanitary conditions with roach infestations, plumbing issues, and various structural problems. These included defective bathroom faucets, kitchen floor issues, and concerns with fire egress through obstructed windows.

Heating and hot water systems also proved problematic, with emergency complaints recorded in both October and November 2022. More recently, the building's records show some improvements, though issues remain. A bedbug report filed in March 2024 indicates no current infestations, while a March 2023 inspection resulted in an A-class violation regarding the failure to file an annual bedbug report.

The most pressing current violations, as of March 2023, relate to apartment 1B's fire egress and flooring concerns, along with leaky bathroom faucets and defective kitchen flooring. The property has maintained rodent compliance since 2014, though earlier inspections in 2013-2014 recorded several failures in this area. There were also multiple 311 service requests in late 2022, primarily addressing heating, plumbing, and various maintenance issues, though many of these were resolved with no violations issued upon inspection.
