123-52 147th Street, Queens, NY 11436

The 2-family house at 123-52 147th Street in Jamaica, built in 1925 and currently owned by Rodrigue Prosper, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there have been repeated problems with electrical systems, including wiring issues, power outages, and outlet problems, with the most recent electrical incidents occurring in February 2025 being classified as emergencies.

There are also significant plumbing concerns, with multiple complaints about water supply, radiator issues, and heavy water flow problems reported between January and February 2025. During this same period, there were identified violations related to heat and hot water systems, though inspections were completed and violations were issued.

In recent months, two emergency electrical complaints were documented in June 2025 regarding wiring and lighting issues. A potentially concerning development is an active complaint as of February 2025 about illegal conversion at a neighboring address (11436 147th Street), though the inspector was unable to gain access on the first attempt. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with basic infrastructure systems, particularly regarding electrical and plumbing facilities, though many recent complaints have been closed without successful inspections, indicating persistent access or inspection challenges for the Housing Preservation Department.
