The Department of Buildings issued an active Class 2 violation against the building at 133-47 Sanford Avenue in Flushing, Queens, for an out-of-service elevator, according to DOB Environmental Control Board (ECB) records.
The violation, number 39209384Z, was served and issued October 26, 2026, and cites the property for failing to maintain building service equipment in a code-compliant manner under section 28-301.1 of the New York City Administrative Code. The violation description reads "REPAIR AND RESTORE TO SERVICE," indicating the elevator at the address — identified by DOB under building identification number 4461841 — was found out of service at the time of inspection.
DOB records list the respondent as Diana Ma. The violation carries a Class 2 severity rating, DOB's mid-tier designation for conditions that are hazardous but not classified as immediately hazardous. The penalty imposed is $625, with the full balance currently unpaid, per DOB records. A hearing on the violation is scheduled for January 5, 2027, at 9:30 a.m., and the matter's hearing status is listed as pending.
Separately, DOB's complaints-received data shows elevator-related complaints entered elsewhere in the city over the past two days, including an active complaint at 3505 Foster Avenue in Brooklyn (community board 317) and a closed complaint at 2830 Briggs Avenue in the Bronx (community board 207), both categorized under elevator unit review. These are unverified complaints, not confirmed violations, and DOB has not indicated any connection between them and the Sanford Avenue matter.
No injuries have been reported in connection with the Sanford Avenue violation, and DOB records do not indicate the elevator's duration of out-of-service status prior to the violation being issued.
