118-01 Sutphin Boulevard, Queens, NY 11434

118-01 Sutphin Boulevard is a two-family, two-story residential building in Jamaica, Queens, constructed in 1930 and currently owned by Udalin Smith. The property has experienced recurrent infrastructure issues over the past several years, with the most significant being a cluster of heat and hot water complaints between late 2019 and early 2020, with multiple emergency reports filed through HPD - including five distinct complaints in December 2019 and January 2020, though access for inspections was frequently denied.

Earlier records from July 2018 indicate problems with water supply plumbing, with three complaints filed within days of each other, though one was inspected without violations being issued. More recently, in 2024, there was a plumbing complaint logged with the Department of Buildings, though the inspector was unable to gain access during both attempts. The building has also faced pest control challenges, particularly evident in 2017-2018, when multiple rodent inspections were conducted - including two bait application treatments in February 2018 and a failed compliance inspection in December 2017 citing rat activity.

The building's documented issues suggest a pattern of access difficulties for inspection purposes, with multiple complaints in various categories (heat/hot water, plumbing, and pest control) showing a recurring challenge in verifying and addressing maintenance concerns. While some issues have been resolved as per the complaint closure notices, the frequency and nature of the complaints indicate periodic infrastructure and maintenance challenges within the building. The most recent records from 2024 suggest that plumbing maintenance continues to be a concern, with an unresolved violation due to lack of access during inspection attempts.
