AI summary · updated June 2026

The two-family house at 219-17 138th Road in Laurelton, owned by Albert Basal, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in August 2024. A batch of complaints filed in late August 2024 resulted in HPD inspections that identified violations related to plumbing (toilet issues) and electrical problems (wiring and outlet/switch defects), though some electrical complaints were closed without violations. The building's current violations, as of October 2023, show multiple issues in the first-floor apartment, including water leakage problems in the bathroom ceiling, defective door frames, floor tiles, and plaster surfaces in various rooms, as well as concerns about missing carbon monoxide detectors throughout the apartment. Two separate complaints regarding potential illegal conversion of the property were filed in 2023-2024, though in both cases, inspectors were unable to gain access to the unit during their attempts to investigate. While some complaints from July 2024 related to signage and garbage storage were resolved without violations, the more recent violations indicate persistent maintenance challenges that require attention.
