255-08 148th Avenue, Queens, NY 11422

The two-family house at 255-08 148th Avenue in Rosedale, owned by Clive Vickers, has experienced multiple maintenance issues throughout 2023 and prior years. Most recently, there have been recurring heat and hot water problems affecting the entire building, with emergency complaints filed in September 2023 and April 2023, though violations were only issued in September 2023.

Water-related issues have been particularly prominent, with multiple leak complaints throughout 2023, including slow leaks in September 2023 and heavy flow complaints in January 2023. The building also has a history of various other maintenance concerns, including plumbing issues (radiator and toilet problems), electrical problems, and safety concerns regarding smoke detectors in early 2023. From a historical perspective, there have been significant concerns about potential illegal conversions of the property, with three separate complaints filed between 2020 and 2024.

While inspections in 2020 and 2023 resulted in access denials, a 2024 complaint regarding blocked egress was investigated, resulting in a request for corrective action. Other notable issues include a drain-related complaint in 2020 that resulted in no violations being found during inspection. The building's relatively recent construction (built in 2004) contrasts with its growing list of maintenance issues, suggesting ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance response times.
