107-35 Springfield Blvd, Queens, NY 11429

The two-family house at 107-35 Springfield Boulevard in Queens Village, owned by David Fernando, has experienced recurring issues with heat and hot water, doors, and windows over the past two years. Most recently, in late 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints about heat/hot water issues (November 29 and 19) and door problems (November 19 and 14), though HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to the apartments for proper evaluation.

Similar patterns emerged throughout 2023, with several complaints about heating issues (both apartment-specific and building-wide) and door/window problems, particularly during November 2023 when multiple service requests were filed. The building has also been cited for two open Class C violations from March 2023 regarding broken glass in windows on the first story, and in February 2023, a violation was noted for inadequate heat and hot water supply in the second-floor apartment.

Historical records show persistent maintenance challenges, including a 2022 violation for a mouse infestation in public areas, though rodent inspections conducted in 2021 showed mixed results with one passing and one failing for "Other Reasons." While two illegal conversion complaints were filed in 2024 (October and May), inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing communication challenges between tenants and inspection agencies, as numerous complaints have resulted in closure without proper inspection due to lack of access (including the most recent complaints).
