111-15 Lefferts Boulevard, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family residential building at 111-15 Lefferts Boulevard in Richmond Hill, owned by Mario Polisi, has experienced several significant maintenance issues since 2020, with the most recent problems occurring in mid-2023 involving building-wide heat/hot water issues and water supply problems, both of which were categorized as emergencies. The building, constructed in 1930 and currently designated as a Class A dwelling, has an open violation from 2024 requiring the filing of annual bedbug reports, and multiple other violations from previous years that remain unresolved.

These include a 2021 violation related to broken or defective flooring in apartment 2B, multiple bedbug-related violations from 2021-2024, and various safety and maintenance issues identified during inspections. The property has a documented history of various maintenance issues, including multiple 311 service requests between 2020-2023.

In 2021, significant issues were identified including mold problems, pest infestations, electrical concerns, and various plumbing problems, with some resulting in violations being issued. The building has also experienced repeated problems with basic services such as heat and hot water, most recently in June 2023, where HPD was unable to gain access for inspection. While some complaints were resolved without violations being issued, such as a 2020 power outage, the frequency and nature of the service requests suggest ongoing challenges with building maintenance and resident comfort.
