241-13 145th Avenue, Queens, NY 11422

The 241-13 145th Avenue property in Rosedale is a two-family house built in 1925, currently owned by Marie Joseph. The building has experienced recurring heating issues, with three heat/hot water complaints between November 2023 and March 2024, though these were resolved according to HPD records. Multiple maintenance concerns were documented throughout 2023, including problems with windows (two complaints), flooring, walls, and general unsanitary conditions, with violations issued for specific issues such as water leaks and defective plastered surfaces.

Of particular note is the pattern of illegal hotel room complaints, with several documented between 2020-2023, though most inspections were unable to gain access. There are also multiple open violations related to carbon monoxide detectors that were noted during a March 2023 inspection, specifically mentioning issues in both the first floor (FirstF) and second floor (2Floor) apartments. The building's maintenance history shows a mix of resolved and ongoing issues, including two open violations from March 2023 related to defective plastered surfaces and a water leak in the FirstF apartment, as well as flooring problems and carbon monoxide detector concerns in the Second Floor apartment.

The property has undergone several investigations regarding potential illegal conversions, with inspections showing access issues in 2020 and 2022. An Environmental Control Board violation from 2018 was resolved in relation to an unauthorized cellar conversion. While rodent inspections conducted in 2020 resulted in passing grades, the building's overall maintenance record suggests ongoing attention is needed for various safety and habitability concerns, particularly regarding heating systems and required safety equipment like carbon monoxide detectors.
