87-85 123rd Street, Queens, NY 11418

The three-story, six-unit New Law Tenement building at 87-85 123rd Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Eugenia Carrasco, has experienced several notable maintenance issues over the past five years. Most recently, in February 2023, three significant violations were recorded in Apartment 7 regarding safety equipment: defective self-closing doors, and missing or defective smoke and carbon monoxide detectors.

The building has also faced recurring heating issues, with a heating failure affecting the entire building reported in November 2021, though this was resolved within a week according to HPD records. In September 2020, multiple maintenance concerns were documented, including water leak problems, pest infestations, and various issues with doors, windows, floors, and ceilings. While some of these issues were corrected (as verified by HPD), others could not be inspected due to access problems.

The building currently has two active DOB violations (from June 2023) related to failure to file external low-pressure inspections for 2019 and 2020. However, on a positive note, the building has maintained a consistent record of zero bedbug infestations during the past five reporting periods from 2019 to 2024, and there have been no significant maintenance complaints since February 2023. Additionally, a permit related to unspecified work was issued in August 2020.
