13-15 Augustina Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story, two-family house at 13-15 Augustina Avenue in Far Rockaway, owned by Gail Schattner and built in 1967, has experienced significant maintenance challenges throughout 2024. Most notably, there were multiple instances of inadequate heat and hot water, with complaints filed in December 2024 (both for the entire building and individual apartments), and these issues appear to have persisted as evidenced by two separate service requests in December 2024. The building has also faced recurring water-related problems, including three documented water leak complaints between February and June 2024, with one incident resulting in violations being issued in August 2024.

Various maintenance issues have been documented through 311 service requests, including problems with doors/windows, plumbing, and pest infestations. The property has undergone several inspections and received multiple violations throughout 2024, particularly affecting Unit 1B. These violations included mandates to address pest infestations (mice and roaches), various water-related issues, and problems with interior surfaces including ceilings, walls, and kitchen fixtures.

A notable inspection on August 1, 2024, led to multiple violations being issued, which were subsequently certified as addressed by September 2024. The building's heating system has been a recurring concern, with a complaint to the Department of Buildings in February 2024 regarding a defective boiler, though this was marked as requiring corrective action. While many violations have been addressed through certification processes, the pattern of repeated complaints and the nature of the issues suggest ongoing maintenance challenges at the property.
