94-25 56th Avenue, Queens, NY 11373

The 6-story residential building at 94-25 56th Avenue in Elmhurst, owned by Jairaj Sobhraj, has experienced several notable issues and maintenance events since 2020. Most recently, in June 2025, there were multiple complaints related to unsanitary conditions, particularly concerning garbage/recycling storage and sewage odors, though inspections by HPD and DOHMH found no violations of housing laws. The building has faced recurring maintenance challenges, with eight separate complaints about garbage/recycling storage and some sewage issues between May and June 2025.

A significant pattern of rodent activity has been documented, with rat activity recorded during 2025 and 2024 inspections, though previous years showed compliance passes. The property has a history of elevator and boiler concerns, particularly between late 2024 and 2025, with multiple complaints about single devices and defective equipment, though inspections generally did not warrant violations. Several Housing Maintenance Code violations were addressed in late 2024 through early 2025, including issues with doors, smoke detectors, and mold conditions in apartment 7F.

Historical records indicate past electrical safety concerns, including violations related to wiring and equipment in 2020, as well as problems with fire safety materials and smoke detector requirements in 2024. The building has consistently reported zero bedbug infestations since 2019, and while there have been multiple permits issued for work on the property between 2021 and 2024, the frequent nature of recent complaints suggests ongoing maintenance challenges. Environmental Control Board violations from 2024 indicate issues with boiler components, while multiple Department of Buildings violations related to energy reporting requirements have been dismissed or resolved since 2019.
