98-09 Atlantic Avenue, Queens, NY 11421

98-09 Atlantic Avenue is a three-story, four-unit residential building constructed in 1930 in Richmond Hill, currently owned by Said Attia and classified as a "HERETOFORE CONVERTED CLASS A" property. The building has experienced several maintenance issues over the past five years, with the most significant cluster of problems occurring in early 2020, including multiple plumbing issues (basin/sink problems and water supply concerns), paint/plaster damage to ceilings and walls, flooring problems, and an unsanitary mold condition.

Additional maintenance concerns were documented in 2019, including a heavy water leak and window frame issues, though most of these violations were ultimately closed. The building's violation history reveals recurring issues with annual bedbug reporting compliance, with violations documented in 2021, 2022, 2023, and 2024, though the recent bedbug reports for the periods ending October 2024 and earlier show zero infested units, suggesting successful remediation. Other notable violations include unsorted refuse in the rear and east yards (2021), and a requirement to maintain proper fire retardant plaster in the second-story public hall (2020).

The property was also subject to two building stability complaints in November 2019, though inspections found no violations at that time. While many historical violations have been addressed and closed, the building's maintenance history indicates ongoing attention to building systems and compliance requirements is necessary. The most recent bedbug report from December 2024 indicates no current infestations, maintaining a pattern of successful containment since 2020.
