109-29 Sutphin Boulevard, Queens, NY 11435

The 34-unit, 6-story residential building at 109-29 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, owned by David Young and constructed in 2004, has experienced significant maintenance issues over the past year, particularly regarding its elevator system and various building deficiencies. Most notably, there have been multiple elevator out-of-service incidents between 2023-2025, leading to active Environmental Control Board violations with penalties totaling $37,500.

The building currently has several open Housing Maintenance Code violations related to Apartment 5D, including issues with pests (roaches and mice), damaged flooring tiles, plastered surfaces, and a defective door. The property has also experienced various maintenance issues in 2025 alone, including plumbing problems (toilet issues), water leaks, mold, flooring concerns, and appliance malfunction, though most of these complaints were closed without violations being issued. In addition to the elevator and apartment-specific issues, the building has multiple active violations related to energy efficiency requirements, including failures to file benchmarking reports and display energy scores, with penalties totaling $60,000 for the period 2023-2024.

The property has maintained a clean record regarding bedbugs, with no reported infestations in the past four years, and passed rodent inspections in 2018. The building's management has demonstrated variable responsiveness to maintenance issues, with some complaints resulting in violations and others being resolved promptly. The concentration of recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly with the building's elevator system and general upkeep.
