AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-family house at 183-18 140th Avenue in Springfield Gardens, built in 1950 and currently owned by Happiness Idehen, has experienced numerous maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most recent cluster of problems occurring in early 2025 involving heat and hot water service disruptions. The building has faced recurring heating system complaints, with multiple emergency reports filed in 2025 and 2023. More significantly, there are several active violations and open complaints related to structural and maintenance issues, including problems with plaster surfaces, plumbing fixtures, and water leaks, particularly affecting the first-floor apartment. A concerning pattern of maintenance issues emerged in October 2023 when multiple violations were documented regarding cabinetry, flooring, paint/plaster, and plumbing conditions, all of which received violation notices.

The property has documented structural concerns, including two building shaking/vibrating complaints in February 2023 that resulted in violations being served. The Department of Buildings inspection from February 2023 noted subfloor issues in the rear kitchen and settling at ceiling corners. Two active Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 remain unresolved, one related to building maintenance and another for failure to comply with a Commissioner’s order concerning structural deficiencies. The building's plumbing system has shown recurring problems, with violations noted for a non-functioning toilet (October 2023) and various plumbing issues. While the property has passed some rodent inspections, a significant number of failures were recorded between 2012 and 2019, indicating past pest management challenges.
