107-52 Sutphin Boulevard, Queens, NY 11435

The two-family house at 107-52 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, a 2-story building constructed in 1931, has experienced several notable issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Of particular concern is the building's current status regarding annual bedbug reporting, with open violations on record from 2021 through 2024 indicating non-compliance with Housing Maintenance Code requirements.

There is an active construction-related complaint from November 2024 regarding unauthorized work and the presence of footings, plumbing, and electrical work without proper permits, with a related Environmental Control Board violation issued in November 2023, though this may have been addressed by early 2025. The building has a documented history of heating and hot water issues, with emergencies reported in 2020 (January, November) and 2022 (January), though Department of Housing Preservation and Development investigations found that access could not be gained to verify these conditions. More recent service requests in 2022-2023 included concerns about flooring/stairs, which were eventually resolved according to HPD.

There have been multiple food establishment-related complaints in 2022, including a food poisoning incident that the Health Department deemed isolated. Of note, the property has shown persistent rodent control challenges, with inspections between 2010-2020 showing varying results between failed inspections and successful baiting efforts, while more recent inspections in 2019-2020 also failed for "Other Reasons". The building's owner, Ilyazar Rafailov, has been responsible for addressing these numerous maintenance and regulatory requirements, though there appears to be some ongoing non-compliance issues that have persisted through multiple inspection cycles.
