86-43 126th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The two-family tenement at 86-43 126th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Shazim Asrafally, is a 1925 building currently containing 4 units. The property has experienced several notable events in recent years, with the most significant being a heat and hot water outage affecting the entire building in November 2023, which was quickly addressed by the Department of Housing Preservation and Development and reportedly resolved.

The building has had recurring violations related to bedbug reporting requirements between 2021 and 2024, with infractions noted in 2021, 2022, and 2023 regarding the failure to file annual bedbug reports. However, according to the most recent bedbug report filed in May 2024 for the period from November 2022 to October 2023, there were no documented cases of infestation, eradication, or re-infestation in any dwelling units, suggesting successful compliance with bedbug reporting requirements following the previous violations.

Looking at the building's overall compliance history, the most concerning recent issue has been the heating system outage in late 2023. While the response to this incident was timely and it appears the system was restored, any recurrence of heat or hot water problems would be a significant concern for residents. The building's age and history of violations related to bedbug reporting could indicate potential maintenance challenges, though the absence of actual infestations in the most recent reporting period is a positive development.
