137-04 Westgate Street, Queens, NY 11413

The two-family house at 137-04 Westgate Street in Springfield Gardens, owned by Kehinde Salami, has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues over the past four years, with three emergency complaints documented through HPD in 2021 and 2023.

The most recent incidents occurred in January 2023, when multiple tenants reported the lack of essential services; HPD noted one complaint was a duplicate of an existing building-wide issue, while in another case, access to units could not be obtained for verification purposes. An earlier incident in April 2021 was resolved shortly after reporting, with tenants indicating that heat and hot water had been restored.

The property has also faced pest control challenges, as evidenced by failed rodent inspections in August and October 2017, with violations noted for "Other Reasons." A minor infrastructure-related issue was filed with the Department of Buildings in October 2021 regarding an allegedly illegal curb cut, though this complaint was investigated in March 2022 and found to warrant no violation. While the building's age (1930) is typical for its neighborhood, the pattern of emergency heat/hot water complaints suggests ongoing concerns with building systems that affect basic resident comfort.
