144-47 228th Street, Queens, NY 11413

The two-family house at 144-47 228th Street in Springfield Gardens, owned by Symone Wong, has experienced significant maintenance issues throughout 2018-2019, particularly affecting Apartment 1 on the first story. During this period, the building faced recurring problems with heat and hot water systems, with multiple emergency complaints filed between May 2019 and August 2019, including a notable violation for inadequate hot water supply issued on August 9, 2019.

There were also several issues with cooking gas systems, with multiple complaints in August 2019 regarding inadequate gas supply to kitchen fixtures, although no violations were ultimately issued. The building experienced various plumbing issues, including a heavy water flow problem and sink problems in January 2019, along with electrical concerns involving wiring and outlet defects. Additional maintenance challenges were documented in 2019, including safety concerns with smoke detectors, wall conditions requiring repair, and multiple housing code violations.

The inspection on January 18, 2019 revealed several open violations including an infestation of roaches, problems with bathroom fixtures (sink basins, bathtub trip lever), broken electrical outlets, and issues with plastered surfaces and paint in the kitchen. While many of the complaints filed through the NYC 311 system were investigated and closed without violations being found, the pattern of multiple emergency complaints in 2019 suggests persistent maintenance challenges during that period. There have been no recorded housing complaints or violations since 2019 through October 2023, indicating potential improvement in building conditions, though this data should be cross-referenced with any subsequent inspections or complaint records.
