108-20 85th Avenue, Queens, NY 11418

The three-story, three-unit building at 108-20 85th Avenue in Richmond Hill, owned by Mohammad Rahman, has experienced several maintenance issues in recent months. In June 2023, multiple complaints were filed and subsequently validated by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD), including problems with heat and hot water (specifically in Apartment 2), ceiling paint/plastering issues (notably in Apartment 2's bathroom), and an infestation of cockroaches in Apartment 2.

These violations were officially documented and addressed, with some certified as corrected by July 2023. The building also had an inspection in 2023 that revealed additional issues, including a locked door preventing access to the building's heating system in the first-story public hall, and problems with self-closing doors at both the building entrance and Apartment 2's entrance. Prior records show a relatively clean history regarding pest control, with no reported infestations or eradications in the past five years, as evidenced by the Bedbug Reporting system showing zero infested dwelling units in all recent filings from 2020 through 2024.

The building's maintenance code violations from 2023 were primarily centered around ceiling repairs and heating systems, while an April 2021 inspection noted a bedbug reporting compliance issue. All documented violations from 2023 were officially closed, though as of the latest available data, one violation related to a pest infestation in Apartment 2 remained open. The building's age (1925) and its classification as "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" suggest it has undergone some form of conversion from its original use, typical of many similar New York City structures.
