84-67 129th Street, Queens, NY 11415

The two-family house at 84-67 129th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Zarif Ashraf, has been the subject of numerous maintenance and safety issues since at least 2019. Most recently, in 2024, the building was cited for multiple violations in apartment 2NDFLO, including broken ceramic tiles in the kitchen, missing carbon monoxide detectors, and defective electrical outlets, with violations classified as both "A" and "B" categories.

The property has experienced recurring issues with electrical systems, as evidenced by emergency wiring complaints in late 2023, and has faced ongoing problems with rat infestations, with inspections in 2021 and 2022 confirming rat activity. The building's history reveals persistent maintenance challenges, including a series of unresolved Environmental Control Board (ECB) violations from 2020-2022, with penalties totaling up to $30,000.

These violations primarily relate to failed compliance with commissioner orders regarding work performed without permits, particularly involving the cellar apartment, deck, porch, and door hardware. The property has also experienced structural and safety concerns, including emergency complaints about door/window issues, flooring problems, and ventilation systems in 2019. While some complaints have been closed without violations, and certain inspections have been passed, the cumulative record suggests ongoing challenges with building maintenance and code compliance, particularly regarding safety systems like carbon monoxide detectors and electrical infrastructure.
