157-07 115th Road, Queens, NY 11434

The two-family residence at 157-07 115th Road in Jamaica, owned by Leo Smith, has documented several significant issues, most notably a cluster of maintenance problems in August 2018 that affected the first-floor apartment. These issues included multiple emergency plumbing problems, heavy water leaks, and unsanitary conditions involving pests, which were all addressed and closed within a week.

Housing code violations identified during an August 24, 2018 inspection focused primarily on the first-floor apartment and included water leaks in the kitchen ceiling and walls, broken ceramic tiles in the bathroom, defective wood flooring in one room, and pest infestations involving roaches and mice. Additional violations concerned plumbing issues including sink problems, with some violations remaining open, such as missing carbon monoxide detectors and a loose wash basin cabinet in the bathroom.

Since these issues were reported and resolved in 2018, there have been no further documented rodent problems, as evidenced by a passed inspection in June 2018, and no record of similar maintenance issues resurfacing in recent years. The most recent building activity was the issuance of an electrical work permit in June 2022, which appears to have been properly processed. The property, built in 1930 and consisting of two stories, remains a two-family house under current classifications, with no recorded changes in its basic structure or use since 2018.
