116-35 Sutphin Boulevard, Queens, NY 11434

The property at 116-35 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica is a 2-story, 2-unit building constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Thomas Polsinelli. The building has experienced significant maintenance challenges, most notably during 2022-2023, when there were multiple complaints about unsanitary conditions including pest infestations and water leaks. Between September 2022 and March 2023, there were six separate complaints about pests that HPD was unable to inspect due to lack of access.

Additional health and safety concerns were documented in 2022-2023, including issues with plumbing, water supply, electrical systems, and ceiling conditions. The building currently has open violations related to Bedbug reporting requirements as of April 2024, and six active Department of Buildings violations from June 2023 for failure to file annual external low-pressure inspections between 2018-2021, as well as a 2019 violation for failure to file the 2017 boiler inspection report. Previous violations from 2022 October identified multiple issues in Apartment 1R, including a pest infestation (roaches), water leak problems, and missing safety devices.

While the building has maintained regular bedbug reporting showing no infestations from 2019-2022, the property's history shows periods of maintenance challenges, though recent rodent inspections in 2022 passed. The building's documented service requests and violations suggest a pattern of maintenance issues that have required multiple interventions, though many of these issues appear to have been addressed through official inspections and corrections. Recent open violations related to bedbugs and low-pressure inspection requirements indicate some ongoing compliance challenges.
