87-32 123rd Street, Queens, NY 11418

At 87-32 123rd Street in Richmond Hill, the three-story, ten-unit building owned by Domenick Marinaro has experienced several ongoing maintenance issues between 2023 and 2025. Most notably, there have been repeated problems with heat and hot water, including emergency complaints in February 2025 and December 2024 that affected both individual apartments and the entire building. The building has also faced multiple pest-related issues, with the latest complaint filed in February 2025 marking the seventh pest-related complaint since 2023. Safety concerns were highlighted in July 2023 with violations issued for missing carbon monoxide detectors, and there have been documented mold problems, particularly affecting Apartment 3B where multiple violations were recorded in July 2023 relating to pest infestations, mold, and various safety and maintenance issues including smoke detector and self-closing door problems.

Inspection attempts related to these violations have sometimes been unsuccessful, as seen in recent complaints about illegal conversions in 2024 and 2025 where inspectors were unable to gain access on multiple attempts. The building's record shows regular compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, with the most recent filings from 2024 and 2025 indicating no affected units. Previous complaints regarding paint and plaster issues were addressed in May 2023, though violations issued in July 2023 for various maintenance issues in Apartment 3B included problems with plastered surfaces and paint in the kitchen and second room, as well as self-closing door functionality. While some violations have been closed, several remain open as of the latest inspection dates, indicating ongoing maintenance and safety concerns within the building.

The building's maintenance history suggests persistent challenges with basic services like heat and water, as well as recurring issues with pests and safety systems. The property has maintained compliance with bedbug reporting requirements, showing zero reported infestations across multiple filing periods. While some violations have been addressed, the pattern of recurring complaints and missed inspection opportunities raises concerns about consistent maintenance responses, particularly regarding heat and water service continuity and pest control measures. The building's age (built in 1930) combined with these recurring issues suggests ongoing challenges with building systems and maintenance requirements.
