115-36 172nd Street, Queens, NY 11434

The two-family house at 115-36 172nd Street in St. Albans, owned by Alisha Yeates, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance issues over the past two years, with most recent problems occurring between late 2024 and early 2025. In November 2024, HPD documented heat and hot water issues affecting the entire building, resulting in violations.

Throughout late 2024, multiple complaints were filed regarding unsanitary conditions including mold and appliance problems (specifically involving refrigerators and electric/gas ranges), though HPD was frequently unable to gain access for inspections. A particularly concerning cluster of complaints emerged in January 2025, with multiple emergency and non-emergency violations recorded, including issues with pests, mold, plumbing (radiators and sinks), flooring, cabinets, wall conditions, and various appliances. The building's heating system has shown persistent reliability problems, with documented heat and hot water complaints recorded in both October and November 2024, and a separate heating complaint from February 2023.

The Department of Buildings also recorded a boiler-related complaint in October 2024, though this was referred to HPD for investigation. While many of these issues have been officially closed according to the HPD records, the pattern of repeated maintenance problems over this period, particularly regarding heating systems, appliances, and unsanitary conditions, suggests ongoing challenges in building maintenance. The most recent documented complaints from January 2025 indicate that several violations were addressed by February 2025, though it's important to note that many previous complaints had been closed due to inability to schedule inspections rather than confirmed resolutions.
