28-01 Deerfield Road, Queens, NY 11691

The three-story, two-unit building at 28-01 Deerfield Road in Far Rockaway, owned by Dennis Craig, has experienced a number of maintenance issues since 2019. The most recent significant problems occurred in March 2021, when multiple plumbing and appliance-related complaints were documented, resulting in violations particularly affecting the third-floor apartment (Apt 3) including leaky kitchen sink faucets, bathroom wash basin issues, and door self-closing problems.

During this period, both emergency and non-emergency service requests were filed regarding water leaks, various plumbing fixtures, and appliance malfunctions, though most were ultimately closed without violations being issued. Prior to this, in 2019, there were two concerning incidents where HPD inspectors were unable to gain access to investigate reports of no lighting and heat/hot water issues, both classified as emergencies. The building's maintenance record shows some recurring patterns, particularly regarding appliances, plumbing, and water-related issues.

The property has been subject to three Housing Maintenance Code violations related to bedbug reporting between 2021-2023, though the most recent February 2024 report indicates no current infestation issues, with zero infested or previously infested units. The building's age (constructed in 1920) and history of plumbing-related problems suggest ongoing maintenance challenges, though the current bedbug status is compliant with reporting requirements. As of October 2023, three violations remain open relating to the self-closing doors at both the building's west entrance and Apt 3's entrance, as well as plumbing issues in Apt 3, all documented during the 2021 inspection.
