221st Street, Queens, NY 11413

The property at 221st Street in Springfield Gardens, owned by Urica Mcnicolls, is a two-family house built in 1997 consisting of two stories. The building's recent history has been marked by several significant maintenance issues, particularly in October 2021, when multiple complaints were filed and violations issued regarding both apartments' gas and water systems. In Apartment 2, serious concerns were documented including uncapped gas lines, inadequate hot and cold water supply to the kitchen sink, and the presence of a hot plate in violation of building codes.

Apartment 2NDDOO also experienced appliance-related issues, notably including problems with the stove's gas supply. These violations, some categorized as Class C, indicated potentially hazardous conditions, though they were ultimately closed following appropriate inspections. Prior to this, in March 2019, there was a complaint about unsanitary conditions involving pests, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development was unable to gain access for inspection.

It is worth noting that an illegal conversion complaint was filed in March 2019 but was investigated and found to warrant no violations. Most recently, in April 2023, the Department of Buildings issued a permit for work to be done at the property, though specific details about the nature of this work are not provided in the available data. The building's documented history suggests periods of maintenance concerns, particularly relating to water and gas systems, though all cited violations have been closed following inspection and corrective action.
