117-47 133rd Street, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family house at 117-47 133rd Street in South Ozone Park has experienced significant and persistent maintenance issues over the past two years, with particular problems related to essential services. As of July 2025, the building has multiple open Housing Maintenance Code violations, including hot water and gas supply deficiencies in first-floor apartments, as well as outstanding issues with water leaks and carbon monoxide detection devices. Between October 2024 and January 2025, there were multiple emergency complaints regarding heat, hot water, and gas supply issues that could not be inspected due to lack of access.

The building has also faced sanitation challenges, with rodent inspections showing a failure in late 2024, though a subsequent compliance inspection in April 2025 passed. The property has a documented history of various infrastructure problems, particularly affecting the first-floor apartments. These include multiple violations for inadequate hot water supply, gas range issues, and plumbing problems, many of which were cited as Class B or Class C violations, indicating their potential impact on tenant safety and comfort.

The building's maintenance history shows a pattern of inspection access issues, with multiple HPD inspections being unable to gain entry to units, leading to closed complaints that suggest ongoing problems. While some violations from 2023-2024 were closed by late 2024, new complaints continued to emerge, indicating persistent maintenance challenges. The building, constructed in 1915 and currently owned by 11747 Management LLC, continues to be subject to routine regulatory inspections and oversight by various city agencies, including HPD and the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.
