245-37 149th Road, Queens, NY 11422

The two-family house at 245-37 149th Road in Rosedale, currently owned by Solomon Okusanya, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past several years, with the most significant problems occurring in 2018-2019. The building, constructed in 1960, is two stories tall and contains three units. Between 2018 and 2019, there were multiple reports of water-related problems, including three documented incidents of heavy water leaks in August 2018 and January and May 2019, with associated violations issued in May 2019 specifically noting issues with the bathroom ceiling and walls in Apartment 1FL.

Additional maintenance concerns during this period included mold issues (August 2018), electrical problems (lighting - August 2018), problems with kitchen cabinets (May 2019), and heating/hot water issues (May 2019). The building has multiple open violations from May 2019, including deficiencies related to a broken kitchen countertop, water leak evidence, defective plastered surfaces, and broken base cabinet in Apartment 1FL. While several violations from earlier inspections were eventually certified as corrected, including a tub grout issue from February 2019 and a mouse infestation issue from August 2018, the presence of open violations from May 2019 suggests ongoing maintenance challenges that may impact resident comfort.

The building's maintenance history reveals a pattern of water-related issues, with four separate water leak complaints between 2018 and 2019. Other documented problems include concerns about appliances (electric/gas range), plumbing (basin/sink), and general building conditions. Most of the complaints were classified as emergencies, requiring prompt attention, and while many issues were eventually resolved, the number and nature of these complaints suggest that the building has experienced significant maintenance challenges over the review period. Since October 2023, through July 2025, there have been no additional complaints or violations reported, though this may reflect either improved conditions or reduced reporting during this period.
