85-63 116th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The four-story, three-unit residential building at 85-63 116th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Akiva Emergi, was constructed in 2007 and has had notable maintenance history.

In July 2018, multiple complaints were filed regarding water leaks, mold, and flooring issues, all of which were classified as emergency situations, though the Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access for inspection and ultimately closed these cases with a recommendation to re-file if issues persisted. The building has had two Class A violations regarding bedbug reporting requirements in 2021 and 2022, though these violations were closed.

Notably, there have been no reported bedbug infestations in any of the six consecutive annual bedbug reports filed from 2021 through 2025, covering periods from November 2019 to October 2024, indicating effective pest management practices in recent years. While the 2018 complaints suggest previous maintenance concerns, the absence of recent complaints and the consistent bedbug reporting compliance since 2022 may indicate improved maintenance protocols, though the original water, mold, and flooring issues remain concerning due to the lack of access and resolution at that time.
