133-38 132nd Street, Queens, NY 11420

The two-family house at 133-38 132nd Street in South Ozone Park, owned by Erick Gonzalez, has a documented history of maintenance issues, with the most pressing concerns centering around water damage and pest control. The building, constructed in 1925, has persistent moisture-related problems, as evidenced by multiple complaints and violations between 2021-2022 regarding water leaks, heavy flow conditions, and mold, particularly affecting ceilings and walls. During a comprehensive inspection in November 2022, the property received several open violations, including water leak issues, glass pane damage, and evidence of roach and mice infestations in the first-floor apartment.

More recently, in 2025, there were additional concerns about rodent activity, though a May 2025 health inspection found no violations. The building's maintenance record shows a pattern of recurring rodent inspections, with varying results between 2013-2025, including a recent failure in July 2025 and a passing inspection in June 2025. The property has also faced various other maintenance challenges, with multiple housing code violations recorded in both 2021 and 2022.

These include issues with plaster surfaces, paint conditions, and electrical service problems, particularly in the private apartment spaces. While many complaints filed through the Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and Department of Health (DOHMH) were closed without violations being found, the consistent pattern of water-related issues, mold concerns, and pest problems suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. The most recent housing maintenance inspections and complaints indicate that while some issues have been addressed, others remain unresolved or require further attention, particularly regarding water damage and pest control systems.
