142-29 254th Street, Queens, NY 11422

The two-family house at 142-29 254th Street in Rosedale, owned by Corlene Holliday, has experienced several significant maintenance issues in recent months. Most notably, there is an open heat and hot water problem as of November 2024 that HPD has acknowledged but could not fully investigate due to access issues. The building has also generated multiple 311 service requests in November 2024, including emergency complaints about a door issue and water leak, as well as more routine complaints about heating problems.

HPD inspections on November 10, 2024, resulted in multiple open violations for the first-floor apartment (FL1), including deficiencies with the door handle and latch assembly, ceiling plaster and paint conditions, and a malfunctioning carbon monoxide detector. Of particular concern is a Class C violation regarding inadequate hot water supply, which represents a potential safety hazard. The building, constructed in 2007, has a documented history of water-related issues, with multiple complaints about water leaks in both 2019 and 2024, though many of these complaints were ultimately determined not to violate housing laws.

Between 2019 and 2024, there has been recurring concern about unsanitary conditions, including a 2019 mold complaint that received violations. While some historical violations from 2019 were eventually certified as corrected in 2020, many of the current violations from November 2024 remain open, suggesting ongoing maintenance challenges. The frequency and variety of recent complaints, particularly regarding heating systems and basic maintenance issues, indicate potential challenges with the building's current management and maintenance response capabilities.
