143-20 Lakewood Avenue, Queens, NY 11435
The two-story, four-unit building at 143-20 Lakewood Avenue in Jamaica, owned by Anthony Armstead, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over recent years, particularly related to heating systems. Most notably, there have been three heating-related complaints in 2024, 2022, and 2021, with the most recent incident occurring just days before Thanksgiving 2024 involving heat/hot water issues in an apartment.
The building has faced significant moisture and maintenance challenges, as evidenced by multiple emergency complaints in 2021, including reports of heavy water leaks, mold, window pane issues, and various appliance problems. Detailed inspections in June 2021 led to several violations being issued, including unsanitary conditions (pests and mold), ceiling paint/plaster issues, and problems with doors and appliances. The building's current violation status as of April 2024 shows open violations related to bedbug report filings from 2022-2024, and several administrative violations from August 2021 regarding required safety postings, including gas leak procedures and carbon monoxide detector requirements.
The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in June 2021 regarding work without permits, but no violations were found at that time. Earlier rodent inspections in December 2014 resulted in one failure for "Other Reasons," though a subsequent compliance inspection passed. While some violations from previous years have been addressed, the building's recent history shows persistent challenges with basic services and maintenance, particularly concerning heating systems and compliance with safety regulations.
