86-48 125th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The three-story New Law tenement building at 86-48 125th Street in Richmond Hill, managed by Larry Adelsman, has experienced persistent maintenance and quality of life issues over recent years. In 2025 alone, there have been multiple reports of structural and utility problems, including heat and hot water issues (June), unsanitary conditions relating to pests (April), lighting failures (April), and wall maintenance concerns (April). The building has shown recurring pest problems, with multiple HPD complaints between 2022 and 2025 regarding unsanitary conditions.

Notably, three violations related to the annual bedbug report requirements were recorded in 2021-2024, though the most recent 2024 report indicates no infested units. Rodent inspections show mixed results, with a passing grade in March 2025 following prior failures in 2013-2014 and January 2023. The property has also faced various maintenance challenges including paint/plaster issues, electrical problems, and a history of mice infestation in Apartment 3R (2020 violations).

The building's record shows a pattern of maintenance issues requiring multiple HPD interventions, though many complaints were marked as resolved after property management indicated corrections were made. Recent data suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance, particularly regarding heat/hot water, lighting, and pest control. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements since 2019, and recent rodent inspections indicate some improvement in pest management. Historical data shows the building was constructed in 1931, contains 6 units, and has undergone periodic inspections revealing various code violations, some of which remain open as of late 2023.
