112-20 Sutphin Boulevard, Queens, NY 11435

The two-story, two-unit building at 112-20 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, owned by Gennadiy Shamalov, was constructed in 1931 and has experienced several maintenance issues, particularly in recent months. The most significant and concerning problems relate to electrical systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed in July 2024 regarding wiring issues, power outages, and lack of lighting, including two instances where violations were issued. Additionally, there are plumbing and water-related concerns, including a toilet issue and a slow leak complaint in July 2024, with violations issued specifically for a toilet problem in apartment 2F.

The building has also faced sanitary challenges, with mold complaints in July 2024 and previous issues noted in 2023. A July 2024 inspection resulted in multiple violations for apartment 2F, including: the need to repair various ceilings and walls, address water leaks from the skylight, fix roof leaks affecting multiple rooms, and correct unsafe electrical wiring conditions involving loose hanging live wires in the bathroom. There were also violations issued in July 2024 regarding missing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors throughout apartment 2F.

Earlier complaints from 2023 included a flooring/steps issue that was not able to be inspected. A noteworthy complaint about building shaking or vibrating was filed in May 2023, but the inspector was unable to gain access. The property currently has no open housing maintenance code violations, and a bedbug report for the period between November 2022 and October 2023 shows no infestation or eradication issues. While many of the recent complaints have been resolved, the pattern of electrical, plumbing, and sanitary issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges requiring attention.
