AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-family house at 115-23 173rd Street in St. Albans, owned by Prenella Patterson, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years that may impact resident experience. Most recently, in August 2021, the building experienced electrical issues with lighting, resulting in two separate complaints (one classified as emergency) though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection. Prior to this, in late 2018, there was a concerning pattern of heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergency complaints (on November 28, December 14, and December 19) regarding lack of heat/hot water in apartments, though heat and hot water were reported restored during HPD's investigations. These heating system problems coincided with electrical issues, including wiring problems, for which inspections were conducted but no violations were issued.

Additional maintenance challenges have included door issues (August 2021), and various problems in December 2018 including plumbing (basin/sink) problems and another electrical (lighting) issue, with all these complaints being closed without violations. A safety-related violation was recorded in December 2018, concerning an illegal double cylinder lock at the building's front entrance metal security door, which was certified as corrected in January 2019. While many of these complaints were resolved without resulting violations, the frequency of heating, electrical, and security-related issues, particularly during the late 2018 period, is noteworthy. The building, constructed in 1935, is classified as a two-family house and features two stories.
