84-56 127th Street, Queens, NY 11415

The property at 84-56 127th Street in Kew Gardens is a 2-family, 2-story house built in 1920, currently owned by Md Saleh. The building has experienced multiple maintenance issues in recent years, with the most pressing problems emerging in 2024. Notably, there are several open violations as of mid-2025 related to water leaks and ceiling maintenance in Apartment 2, including issues with plaster surfaces and paint consistency.

The most recent complaints from August 2024 documented ceiling problems requiring repair and persistent water leak issues, while earlier complaints from April 2024 showed similar concerns in the 2nd floor apartment. A concerning incident in December 2022 involved a heat and hot water complaint that resulted in no access for inspection. The building has a history of unresolved code compliance issues, including an active Environmental Control Board violation from October 2024 regarding improper front yard paving and planting, with an associated penalty of $1,280.

There are also persistent concerns about unauthorized modifications, with three separate illegal conversion complaints filed between 2018-2024, though inspectors were unable to gain access for verification in at least two of these cases. The Department of Buildings recently investigated a vacant and unguarded condition as of May 2025. Apart from these structural and maintenance issues, the building has faced several environmental challenges, including mold problems documented in multiple 311 complaints across 2024, though some inspections resulted in no violations being issued. The cumulative maintenance record suggests ongoing challenges with building upkeep and code compliance, particularly regarding water damage and interior maintenance.
