85-10 120th Street, Queens, NY 11415

Located at 85-10 120th Street in Richmond Hill, this 6-story, 71-unit residential building constructed in 1961 has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in 2023, there were emergency complaints regarding both an electric/gas range and toilet issues, though Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) was unable to gain access to inspect the conditions.

The building has a documented history of heat and hot water problems, with complaints recorded in both 2018 and 2022 regarding entire building outages, though in each instance, heat and hot water were reportedly restored before inspection. The property has also faced various sanitary concerns, including sewage issues (2020), mold (2020), and pest problems (2019), with varying degrees of resolution - some complaints being verified as corrected while others resulted in HPD being unable to inspect. The building has one notable safety violation from May 2023 regarding a door device preventing self-closing at the building's street entrance, which was subsequently certified as corrected.

Bedbug reports show a relatively clean record for the past five years, with only two confirmed infested units in 2018-2019 and 2019-2020, while recent filings between 2021 and 2024 show no infestations. A rodent inspection conducted in 2010 passed, and there were two DOB violations from 2019 and 2020 that were resolved. The building's maintenance history suggests ongoing challenges with access for inspections and persistent issues with essential services, though recent years have shown improved pest management and resolution of certain safety concerns.
