87-37 111th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The two-family house at 87-37 111th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Ronald Lochan, is a two-story building constructed in 1920. The property's documented history reveals several notable incidents affecting tenant conditions and building maintenance.

Most recently, in late 2024, there was an active complaint regarding an illegal conversion, with an inspection attempt by the Department of Buildings recorded in January 2025. This complaint remained unresolved as of that inspection date, since the inspector was unable to gain access to the property.

The building has experienced significant heating maintenance issues, most notably in December 2020 when residents filed complaints regarding inadequate heat and hot water, which were classified as emergency complaints by the Housing Maintenance Code. The Department of Housing Preservation and Development conducted an inspection on December 9, 2020, which resulted in violations being issued related to insufficient heating in a specific room of Apartment 1 on the first floor. Looking further back, in 2015, the property had rodent problems, with inspections in June and October of that year noting rat activity and resulting in a failed compliance inspection for "Other Reasons." While these incidents are significant, it's worth noting that there have been no reported violations or major complaints in recent years (2022-2023), and the property has maintained compliance with major safety inspections during this period.
