178-41 145th Road, Queens, NY 11434

The two-family residential building at 178-41 145th Road in Springfield Gardens, owned by Yakov Albaliya, has a documented history of maintenance issues primarily from 2019-2020, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in December 2019. During this period, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) covering various issues including electrical wiring problems, plumbing (sink), flooring concerns, wall conditions, pest infestations, mold, and inadequate heat/hot water systems. Notably, all these complaints were closed without any violations being issued.

The building had several housing maintenance code violations identified during an October 2019 inspection of the first-floor apartment, including a leaky roof affecting ceiling conditions, defective light fixtures, ceiling tiles, and various repairs needed for floors. Specific issues included a broken kitchen sink waste line, problems with concrete and brick treads leading from the yard, and missing electrical panel covers in the cellar. While most of these violations were marked as closed, there was one Class C violation related to an uncapped shutoff gas valve in the cellar that remained open as of the inspection date.

Subsequent to these issues, there were two complaints in 2019-2020 regarding plumbing and egress problems, though no violations were found upon inspection. The most recent documented activity related to this property is the issuance of an electrical work permit in August 2021, though the specific scope of work is not detailed in the records. It's worth noting that all the housing maintenance code violations have either been closed or are no longer listed as open, suggesting that the owner has addressed the majority of the identified issues, though this should be independently verified against current building conditions and any more recent complaints or violations.
