37-20 104th Street, Queens, NY 11368

The 4-story, 7-unit building at 37-20 104th Street in Jackson Heights, owned by Elyas Monahemi, was constructed in 1931 and has undergone several significant maintenance and compliance events over recent years. Most pressing were the heat and hot water issues reported in March 2021, which were resolved but required tenant follow-up, and an electrical wiring problem reported in March 2019 that resulted in violations.

The building faced multiple maintenance challenges in early 2019, including unsanitary conditions related to pest infestations and garbage storage, with some violations issued during inspections. Various apartment-specific issues were logged in January 2019, including problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings, plumbing issues in the bathtub/shower, and appliance concerns, though inspectors were unable to access the units to verify these conditions. The property has maintained a consistent record of addressing its obligations, as evidenced by the routine bedbug reporting showing no infestations or re-infestations reported between 2019 and 2024.

Recent compliance history shows an external low-pressure inspection violation issued in June 2023, which was dismissed by the end of July 2023. While there were concerns raised about illegal conversions in 2018, inspections did not find any violations at that time. The building's management has been responsive to various inspection requirements, including obtaining permits for work performed in 2018, though multiple open violations remain from 2019 related to electrical outlet covers, pest control, and several building code compliance matters, including posting required safety notices in common areas regarding smoke detector and carbon monoxide requirements.
