179-32 143rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11434

The two-family house at 179-32 143rd Avenue in Springfield Gardens, owned by Christine Lovitt, has experienced recurring maintenance issues over the past few years, with particular concern about heating and water systems. Most notably, there was a cluster of heat and hot water outages in late 2022, with four separate emergency complaints between November 29 and December 20, including at least one instance where HPD issued violations following an inspection.

A similar heat/hot water complaint was recorded in January 2023, though HPD was unable to gain access to verify the conditions. The building's plumbing systems have also shown recurring problems, with two separate emergency water supply complaints documented in late 2021 (December 23) and mid-2022 (May 14).

In both cases, HPD was initially unable to conduct inspections but later confirmed that conditions had improved in one instance (2021 complaint). While all these complaints have been officially closed, the pattern of issues, particularly regarding heat and hot water systems, suggests ongoing challenges with building systems maintenance.
