87-55 123rd Street, Queens, NY 11418

The two-family house at 87-55 123rd Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Gurwant Singh, has experienced a series of concerning maintenance and safety issues throughout 2023. Most recently, in August 2023, there were complaints about unsanitary sewage conditions, which were closed without inspection access, and the building has been under scrutiny for multiple illegal conversion complaints during July-August 2023, though these were mostly closed due to access issues or noted as Oath Violation Served.

The property has also faced several infrastructure challenges, including a slow water leak and a power outage in July 2023, both of which were inspected with no violations found. Earlier in the year, the building experienced various maintenance issues that raise safety concerns, including a carbon monoxide detector complaint in June 2023 (closed with no violations found), problems with electric/gas ranges in June 2023 (multiple complaints with access issues), wall issues requiring paint/plaster work in April 2023, and a heat/hot water complaint in March 2023.

Additionally, there were plumbing and pest-related complaints recorded in March 2023. The Department of Buildings conducted inspections in response to several complaints, including a concerning egress issue in August 2023, though no violations were found during these inspections. While many complaints were ultimately closed with no violations issued, the pattern of repeated complaints and access issues suggests ongoing maintenance challenges at this 1920-built property.
