146-66 Springfield Lane, Queens, NY 11413

The two-family house at 146-66 Springfield Lane in Springfield Gardens, owned by Gilbert Bailey, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since its construction in 1987. Most notably, there have been multiple complaints about heat and hot water issues, with three incidents reported in January 2022 (affecting both the entire building and apartments), one in October 2020, and one in February 2019. The building experienced an electrical power outage in January 2022, which was investigated without any violations being issued.

In 2019, the property faced various maintenance concerns, including water leaks, window and door issues, and problems with cabinets and wall finishes, though no violations were found following inspections. The building currently has several open housing maintenance code violations from 2019 that remain unresolved, including concerns regarding an illegal double cylinder lock at the front entrance, missing carbon monoxide detector, defective plumbing, window damage, inadequate heat supply, loose kitchen sink, and visible mold condition in the bathroom. The property has also faced safety-related issues regarding window guards and door security.

Two complaints regarding egress problems were filed in November 2020, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification. An illegal conversion complaint was also filed in November 2020 but was marked as "Inspector Unable To Gain Access" upon inspection attempts. The building's documented history indicates ongoing maintenance challenges, particularly related to heating systems and various architectural features, with multiple instances of inspection access being denied or unavailable. Despite numerous complaints and service requests over the years, many were closed without violations being issued.
