23-23 Mott Avenue, Queens, NY 11691

The two-family house at 23-23 Mott Avenue in Bayswater, owned by Sandra De Los Santos, has experienced a series of maintenance and safety issues since 2019 that warrant attention. Most notably, there is an active violation from July 2022 documenting extensive fire and water damage to the two-family dwelling, resulting in unsafe conditions. The building has also faced persistent electrical and plumbing problems, with multiple documented violations between 2021 and 2022 related to water supply issues, lighting failures, and electrical outlet problems.

In March 2022, violations were issued regarding inadequate hot and cold water supply at kitchen fixtures and various electrical issues in the first-floor apartment. Additional concerns include a mold violation from October 2021, affecting approximately 6 square feet at the ceiling in one of the rooms, and a pest infestation problem documented in October 2021. The property has a history of regulatory scrutiny and various complaints filed with city agencies. In October 2019, there was a complaint regarding illegal conversion, and in October 2020, issues concerning the boiler's operation were reported.

Most significantly, an Environmental Control Board violation from October 2019 noted the improper use of door hardware with key locking devices in the first-floor apartment, resulting in a $625 penalty. A July 2022 complaint about the building being vacant, open, and unguarded was also filed, though closed. Despite these ongoing issues, a rodent inspection conducted in January 2021 resulted in a passing grade, indicating some aspects of the property's maintenance are being adequately managed. The building's records show a pattern of electrical, plumbing, and general maintenance issues, with many violations remaining open as of the most recent available data.
