116-41 Sutphin Boulevard, Queens, NY 11434

The two-story, two-unit building at 116-41 Sutphin Boulevard in Jamaica, owned by Amie Donzo, has experienced several notable maintenance issues since 2021, with the most recent concerns emerging in mid-2023. A series of 311 service requests and Housing Maintenance Code Complaints were filed in June 2023, covering problems with electrical outlets, door frames, plumbing (basin/sink), wall conditions, and multiple reports of pest-related (unsanitary condition) issues. In addition, there was a water leak with heavy flow reported in May 2023 that was classified as an emergency.

The building currently has several open violations from a May 2023 inspection, including requirements to post various safety notices (carbon monoxide detection, gas leak procedures, and tenant information) and to repair a defective self-closing door in the vestibule. Notably, there have been recurring complaints about illegal hotel rooms in the building throughout 2023, with multiple inspection attempts resulting in access denial. The property has shown some improvement in pest management over time, with the most recent bedbug report filings (2024 and 2025) showing no infested units, following one incident in 2022-2023.

However, a significant violation remains from 2021 regarding a mice infestation in Apartment 1 that is marked as open. The building has demonstrated compliance with certain safety regulations, evidenced by the resolution of violations related to carbon monoxide detection devices in April 2021. While there has been regular reporting and addressing of pest-related issues, the pattern of access denial during inspections and the persistence of open violations related to safety postings and building access equipment suggests ongoing management challenges. The property has generally maintained its bedbug reporting requirements, with zero units reported infested in the most recent filings.
