217-15 133rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11413

The three-story, two-family house at 217-15 133rd Avenue in Laurelton, owned by Yoel Moreta Ramirez and built in 1930, has a documented history of maintenance issues, particularly regarding basic utilities. The most recent significant incident, an emergency sewage problem reported in September 2022, was resolved by March 2023. Between March and April 2019, the building experienced multiple heat and hot water failures affecting the entire structure, with several complaints indicating inadequate or scalding hot water.

These issues prompted both emergency complaints and violations, including specific problems in apartments 2NDFL and 3. The building also faced plumbing concerns, with a slow water leak reported in March 2019 that was not able to be inspected immediately. Additional services included a cooking gas-related emergency in April 2019. The property has undergone various inspections and crackdowns on potentially unauthorized modifications.

In 2018-2019, the Department of Buildings issued violations related to unauthorized work in the attic, including water, waste, and gas line installations, resulting in multiple fines totaling $38,750. There were also concerns about illegal conversion to a three-family configuration, though the exact resolution of this issue is not clearly documented in the recent records. The building has maintained compliance with rodent inspections in recent years, passing an inspection in 2013, though it failed in 2011 for unspecified reasons. Most recently, in 2024, the property underwent tenant safety inspections in April and May, both of which resulted in no violations being found.
