86-37 120th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The 6-unit, 2-story building at 86-37 120th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Al Nassiri and built in 1931, has experienced several significant maintenance issues over the past few years. Most notably, there are open violations from 2022-2024 regarding safety requirements, including improper lock installations, missing carbon monoxide and smoke detector notices, and failure to maintain proper emergency notifications. The building has also faced recurring water-related issues, with multiple complaints about plumbing problems in 2019 and a significant water leak in July 2022 that resulted in a Class B violation requiring repairs in Apartment 1A.

Two recent door-related complaints in 2023 (both marked as emergencies) resulted in HPD being unable to gain access for inspection. The property has a documented history of safety and maintenance concerns, including building systems issues and safety violations. In 2022, there was a period of non-compliance regarding bedbug reporting requirements, though the most recent report from May 2023 shows no infestations during the 2021-2022 period.

Between 2017-2019, the building underwent some construction work that led to several safety violations related to scaffolding and work site conditions, though these were eventually resolved. The building's most recent inspection history shows attention to rodent control, with the last inspection in 2019 passing compliance, and it appears that the building's emergency systems have received attention, with violations regarding defective detectors being documented and addressed in 2022. While many historical issues have been resolved, several open violations and recent service requests indicate ongoing maintenance challenges.
