149-89 253rd Street, Queens, NY 11422

The two-family house at 149-89 253rd Street in Rosedale, owned by Chris Constant, has experienced several maintenance issues over the past few years that warrant attention. Most recently, in August 2024, there was an active DOHMH complaint regarding standing water that remains unresolved.

Earlier in 2024, the property underwent multiple inspections by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) in response to various complaints, including issues with heat and hot water affecting the entire building, ceiling paint/plaster concerns, and problems with pests and mold during January 2024. Notably, a violation was documented in January 2024 regarding inadequate heat supply in a specific location within Apartment 2 on the second floor. The building has a documented history of plumbing and water-related issues, with multiple reports of leaks, including a slow leak complaint in June 2023 and another in November 2020.

Heating system problems have been a recurring theme, with emergency complaints regarding no heat or hot water recorded in December 2022 and January 2024. While many of these complaints have been closed without violations being found, including inspections in January 2024 that cleared the building of HVAC, mold, and pest violations, the frequency and nature of the complaints suggest ongoing maintenance challenges. The property was constructed in 1980 and consists of two stories, with the most recent 311 complaint about standing water being recorded in August 2024.
