177-56 Meadow Drive, Queens, NY 11434

This two-family residential property at 177-56 Meadow Drive in Springfield Gardens, built in 1997 and owned by Egbert Lacey, has experienced several significant maintenance issues, particularly during 2021. The building has two confirmed open violations from December 2021 in Apartment 2, including a requirement to address a roach infestation and to repaint walls and ceilings with light-colored paint.

Additionally, there are other open violations from June 2021 affecting the 2nd-floor apartment, including problems with roof leaks, plaster surfaces, a sink cabinet drawer, and concerns about an interior room's window access. The property has a documented history of pest-related issues, with multiple complaints about sanitation problems, including pests and mold, particularly in late 2021 when several 311 complaints were filed and subsequently inspected by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

The building also experienced various maintenance concerns during this period, including issues with doors/windows, electrical outlets/switches, and plumbing fixtures, though most of these inspections did not result in violations. Two illegal conversion complaints were filed regarding the property in 2020-2022, but inspectors were unable to gain access during their final attempts. Historical rodent inspections show mixed results, with rat activity recorded in 2014 and a passing inspection in 2019, though these did not include recent follow-up results through 2023.
