145-05 232nd Street, Queens, NY 11413

The two-family house at 145-05 232nd Street in Rosedale, owned by Erica Fernandez, has experienced significant structural issues in recent years, particularly concerning its balconies. Dating back to October 2023, the building has been under close scrutiny due to problems with both front and rear balconies, which were found to be in "severe disrepair" with specific issues including severe leaning and separation from the facade at the front, and rotting cantilevered support joists at the rear.

These conditions prompted multiple complaints about building stability and structural monitoring requirements, with several complaints being filed in October 2023 regarding vibrations and structural stability concerns. The building received multiple violations from the Department of Buildings (DOB) and Environmental Control Board (ECB) in 2024, with penalties totaling $3,750 for issues including unpermitted work and past due RCA payments.

Recent inspections in 2024 showed ongoing monitoring of the building's condition, with inspections in April 2024 and October 2024 noting various status codes including "Oath Violation Served" and "N2." The situation reached a critical point where a vacate order was issued in October 2023, though this was fully rescinded in November 2024. While some violations have been dismissed through inspections, the building's history suggests a period of significant structural concern, particularly regarding the safety and stability of the balcony structures, which appeared to be the primary focus of both resident complaints and regulatory actions over the past two years. The building was constructed in 2007 and consists of two stories.
