84-06 109th Street, Queens, NY 11418

Located at 84-06 109th Street in Richmond Hill, this 6-story, 48-unit New Law Tenement building was constructed in 1931 and is currently owned by Ernest Mcclain. The building has experienced recurring heat and hot water issues throughout late 2024 and early 2025, with multiple complaints spanning November 2024 through February 2025, affecting both individual apartments and the entire building. While many of these complaints were eventually resolved, the pattern suggests an ongoing maintenance challenge with the building's heating system.

In addition, there is one open unsanitary condition complaint from June 2025 regarding garbage/recycling storage. The building has a notable history of elevator service concerns, with recurring complaints about single-device operation and no alternate service between 2020 and 2025. There are also multiple violations related to the compactor closet doors on various floors (2nd through 6th) documented in November 2024, along with several active ECB violations from 2021 regarding unpermitted work at the cellar level and failure to comply with orders.

The building apparently operated as a transient use facility in 2019-2020 without proper fire safety systems, though this issue was subsequently resolved, along with several other deficiencies noted at that time. Recent inspections show no bedbug infestations reported since 2019, and rodent inspections have generally resulted in passing grades, with only one failure noted in 2021. The building's maintenance record is mixed, with numerous resolved violations, though some active issues remain, particularly regarding elevator service and compactor door compliance. While the building has undergone some repairs and improvements, as evidenced by various permit issuances, the recurring nature of heating system failures and elevator service disruptions suggests ongoing infrastructure challenges.
