147-29 228th Street, Queens, NY 11413

The two-family house at 147-29 228th Street in Springfield Gardens, owned by Jean Reme, has been experiencing persistent maintenance issues, particularly in the second-floor apartment that have remained unresolved for several years. A comprehensive inspection conducted in February 2018 identified multiple violations, including safety concerns such as the absence of a carbon monoxide detector (Class B violation), the presence of an illegal double cylinder key lock (Class C violation), and various maintenance issues affecting resident comfort.

These included broken ceramic tiles in the kitchen, a defective electrical outlet in the bathroom, and problems with plastered surfaces and paint in the kitchen ceiling area (all Class B violations). Of particular concern was a documented rodent infestation in the second-floor apartment (Class C violation), which though seemingly addressed during a passed rodent inspection in December 2017, raises questions about ongoing pest control measures. As of now, all six violations from the 2018 inspection remain in open status with no recorded certification of their resolution.

These issues, which collectively span safety, plumbing, electrical, and pest control concerns, suggest a pattern of maintenance challenges that have persisted for over seven years. The property, built in 1955, consists of two stories and two apartment units, with the current documented violations concentrated primarily in the second-floor unit. While the building passed an initial rodent inspection in late 2017, the subsequent documented rodent issue in February 2018 raises concerns about the effectiveness of the pest control measures implemented at that time.
