86-40 123rd Street, Queens, NY 11418
The three-story, six-unit residential building at 86-40 123rd Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Ganesh Deokaran and constructed in 1931 as a New Law Tenement, has experienced several maintenance and safety issues over the past few years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in late 2022 through 2023. Recent inspections in July 2023 revealed multiple Class C violations in Apartment 2, including concerns about lead-based paint hazards, window guard deficiencies, and the presence of an air conditioner in a secondary egress window. The apartment was also cited for defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, though some violations from this inspection have since been closed.
The building has a history of plumbing-related issues, with two emergency service requests in early 2023 regarding basin/sink problems that HPD could not inspect due to access issues, as well as multiple heating and hot water complaints throughout 2022, some affecting the entire building and others confined to specific apartments. Additional concerns have included a series of violations related to building systems, with the property recently receiving multiple citations for failure to file required low pressure inspection reports from 2018 through 2021, though these were ultimately dismissed. The building has maintained a consistent record of filing bedbug reports showing no infestation or eradication cases since 2019, and a rodent inspection in 2022 passed without violations.
Historical complaints from 2022 documented issues with mold and pest-related problems, with some violations issued. The property has also been responsive to various maintenance requests, with many HPD inspections resulting in no violations being found, though access issues have sometimes prevented proper evaluation of reported problems. The building's age and history as a New Law Tenement are reflected in the variety of service requests and violations, which cover a range of maintenance and safety concerns typical for this class of building.
