147-47 231st Street, Queens, NY 11413

The two-family house at 147-47 231st Street in Rosedale, owned by Yosi Azulay, has experienced persistent maintenance issues, particularly related to heat and hot water systems, throughout its recent history. Most notably, during January 2024, there were multiple emergency complaints (seven in total) regarding heat and hot water problems specifically in Apartment 2, including high-temperature water issues exceeding 130 degrees, inadequate heating, and the absence of carbon monoxide detectors.

These violations, classified as Class B and C, remain open as of October 2023. Additionally, a pattern of heat-related complaints emerged between December 2022 and January 2024, suggesting ongoing HVAC system challenges. The building, constructed in 1990, has had some structural and safety concerns documented in its history.

In January 2024, violations were noted regarding defective plastered surfaces and paint in Apartment 2, while a complaint from November 2018 regarding illegal conversion was closed due to access denial. The property did undergo rodent inspections in 2017, with initial failure for unspecified reasons, though it later passed a compliance check. While some issues have received prompt attention, as evidenced by quick closure of many service requests, the recurring nature of heat and hot water complaints, particularly in the most recent winter months, indicates this remains a significant challenge for the building's occupants.
