223-07 135th Avenue, Queens, NY 11413

The 2-family house at 223-07 135th Avenue in Laurelton, built in 1920 and owned by Sonia Shirley, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during late 2018 through 2019. The most concerning pattern involved multiple heat and hot water outages affecting both individual apartments and the entire building, with emergency complaints between November and December 2019, and additional incidents in late 2018.

While many of these complaints were eventually closed with reports of restored service, the frequency and scope of these issues suggest ongoing concerns with the building's heating system. Other maintenance matters during this period included electrical lighting problems, appliance issues with ranges and refrigerators, and a general cooking gas emergency.

Of particular note is an open carbon monoxide detector violation from December 2018 in Apartment 1, indicating missing carbon monoxide detecting devices in the entire apartment, which represents a significant safety concern. The building's documented history also shows a permit issued in September 2020 for unknown work, though no specific details about the nature or outcome of this work are provided in the available records. While many of the 2019 complaints were resolved, the pattern of heat and hot water problems, combined with the carbon monoxide detector violation, suggests historical challenges with building systems and safety equipment that prospective tenants should be aware of.
