86-09 101st Street, Queens, NY 11418

The 4-unit, 2-story building at 86-09 101st Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Jack Soleimani, was constructed in 1931 as a New Law tenement and has experienced several maintenance issues over the years. The most significant cluster of problems occurred in July 2018, when multiple emergency complaints were filed and subsequently investigated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD).

These issues included multiple instances of electrical problems (specifically no lighting), unsanitary conditions (pests and sewage), plumbing issues with a basin/sink, and various problems with paint/plaster on walls and ceilings. Some of these complaints resulted in violations, particularly concerning cabinet repairs, while others were closed without violation. More recent records show consistent compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with no infestations reported in the past three filing periods (2021-2024).

The building has also had some structural maintenance issues requiring attention, as evidenced by an open Class B violation from August 2018 regarding a missing guardrail at the below-grade stair and problems with a stone landing at the entrance stair stoop. The most recent violation from April 2024 pertains to the requirement to file annual bedbug reports, though this appears to be more of an administrative nature given the absence of any actual infestation reports during the relevant periods. The building's maintenance history suggests a pattern of addressing violations and complaints, though there are several open violations from 2018 that remained unresolved as of recent inspections.
