183-22 140th Avenue, Queens, NY 11413

The two-family house at 183-22 140th Avenue in Springfield Gardens, owned by Dima Assi, has experienced recurring heating system issues in late 2019, with three separate heat/hot water complaints filed for the entire building between November 10 and December 5, all classified as emergencies. While the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) conducted inspections in response to three of these complaints, no violations were issued, though one inspection in November could not gain access to the apartments.

Subsequently, the Department of Buildings received two complaints regarding the boiler's defective/inoperative status in November 2019, with inspections on November 15 and November 18, 2019, showing insufficient information or inability to locate the address, and the Department ultimately showing "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" on a February 2020 inspection. The building's rodent inspection history from 2011-2013 shows a concerning pattern, with multiple failed inspections for "Other Reasons" in July, August, and September 2011, and one failed initial inspection in September 2013.

Two subsequent inspections in February and October 2013 resulted in passing grades, though the initial failure in 2013 suggests ongoing pest management challenges. Given the age of the building (constructed in 1950), these heating system issues and past rodent problems may indicate the need for ongoing maintenance and monitoring, though it's worth noting that the most recent inspections from 2013 and the closure of heating complaints in 2019 suggest these specific issues may have been resolved, at least temporarily.
