86-01 101st Street, Queens, NY 11418

The two-story, four-unit building at 86-01 101st Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Jack Soleimani, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years, with the most pressing recurring problem being heat and hot water supply failures. Between December 2020 and March 2021, there were eight documented complaints regarding heating and hot water issues, with multiple emergencies resulting in HPD inspections.

While some of these issues were eventually resolved, notably in March 2021 when heat and hot water were confirmed to be restored, the frequency of these complaints suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge during that period. The building also experienced electrical issues in December 2020, with complaints about lighting and outlet problems, though no violations were issued following HPD inspections. More recent concerns have emerged regarding building safety systems, particularly following a December 2020 inspection which revealed several Class B violations in Apartment 2L, including defective smoke detector and carbon monoxide detecting devices, electrical outlet problems in the kitchen, and visible mold conditions in the bathroom.

Additionally, there were issues with an iron ladder leading to the scuttle opening in the roof in the public hall, though some of these violations were certified as corrected by February 2021. The building has maintained a clean record in terms of bedbug infestations over the past three reporting periods (2022-2024), with no identified infested units or need for eradication treatments. Most recently, in April 2024, the building filed its annual bedbug report indicating zero infestations for the 2022-2023 period, demonstrating compliance with HPD's bedbug reporting requirements.
