253-31 149th Drive, Queens, NY 11422

The two-family house at 253-31 149th Drive in Rosedale, owned by Kim McCants, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, in July 2019, the building faced a cluster of serious problems, with multiple emergency-level complaints filed including issues with broken or missing window guards, ceiling plaster problems, bathroom plumbing concerns, and the presence of mold.

The 2019 complaints also documented a water leak, refrigerator issues, ventilation system problems, and concerns about door/window frames, with violations being issued following Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) inspections. More recently, in January 2021, there was an emergency complaint about heat and hot water services, though HPD indicated that these services were restored following their intervention.

The building was constructed in 1970 and consists of two stories with two residential units. While the property has had its share of maintenance challenges, particularly in mid-2019, it appears that many of the reported issues were addressed through HPD interventions, with all documented complaints being officially closed. The most recent documented service request regarding heat and hot water was resolved within a week, suggesting a somewhat responsive maintenance process, though it required official intervention to achieve resolution.
