85-38 102nd Street, Queens, NY 11418

The three-story, two-family house at 85-38 102nd Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Paula Dhanraj, has experienced several notable incidents over the past few years that warrant attention. Most recently, in May 2025, the property was involved in a Department of Buildings case regarding improper drainage and water retention issues, which resulted in an Oath Violation being served.

This follows a pattern of property maintenance concerns, including a fence-related violation identified in September 2021, though this was ultimately addressed through linkage to another complaint. Of particular concern are two separate complaints from 2018-2019 regarding the building being "Vacant, Open and Unguarded", though inspections in both cases (August 2019 and March 2019) found no violations at the time of inspection. The property also has a documented rodent sighting in November 2018 that was investigated by the Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, though no specific resolution details were provided in the records.

While many of these complaints have been addressed and closed, the most recent drainage violation in 2025 suggests ongoing infrastructure maintenance issues. The building's history shows a pattern of complaints primarily focused on structural and maintenance concerns, rather than issues related to tenant behavior or leasing practices. It's worth noting that the building was constructed in 1910, which may contribute to some of the maintenance challenges observed in the complaint records.
