180-10 143rd Avenue, Queens, NY 11434

The two-family house at 180-10 143rd Avenue in Springfield Gardens, owned by Sarah Isaac, has experienced several significant maintenance and safety issues over the past few years. Most concerning are the multiple open violations from 2018 related to Apartment 1, including reports of pest infestations (mice and roaches), water leaks, and damaged plastered surfaces requiring repair and repainting. There were also safety concerns noted regarding illegal double-cylinder key-operated locks at the building entrance, which were classified as Class C violations requiring immediate attention.

The building has a documented history of electrical issues, with power outage complaints filed in July 2019 and September 2018, though inspections were either completed with no violations found or inspectors were unable to gain access. Three complaints regarding roof issues were filed in July 2019, with at least one classified as an emergency. In addition, multiple complaints from September 2018 regarding paint/plaster conditions, wiring issues, and other maintenance concerns were filed with HPD, and inspectors were again unable to gain access to verify the conditions.

The property has also faced challenges with unauthorized modifications, as evidenced by three separate illegal conversion complaints between July and September 2018, and July 2019, though inspections were unsuccessful due to lack of access. Rodent inspections conducted in August and September 2018 resulted in failures for other reasons, though specific details are not provided in the record. As of now, the building's combined record suggests a pattern of access issues for inspections, with multiple complaints being closed without proper verification of conditions. While some issues were addressed through the violations process, several open violations remain on record, particularly relating to the condition of walls and ceilings, pest control, and building entrance security.
