87-57 124th Street, Queens, NY 11418

The two-story, four-unit tenement building at 87-57 124th Street in Richmond Hill, owned by Bhagwattie Nath, has experienced several recurring maintenance issues since 2018, with the most recent concerns emerging in 2024-2025. The building has faced persistent problems with heat and hot water systems, including an open emergency complaint from November 2024 regarding heat/hot water in one apartment, and multiple related issues documented in November 2018 affecting both apartments and the entire building. Apartment 2R has been the focus of multiple violations and complaints, most recently documented in December 2024, including issues with window guards, self-closing doors, and water temperature exceeding 130 degrees Fahrenheit.

In 2025, new complaints emerged regarding mold and cabinet issues, though inspections resulted in violations being issued. The building has maintained a consistent record of no bedbug infestations reported in recent filings (2022-2024), and while there was one rodent inspection in December 2018 that failed for unspecified reasons, no further rodent-related complaints have been documented. The property's violation history shows a pattern of repeated maintenance issues, particularly in Apartment 2R, including an infestation of roaches documented in November 2024, though this violation was later closed.

The building's management has generally addressed violations when cited, as evidenced by the closure of multiple violations through inspections and repairs, including the correction of heat/hot water problems in November 2018. The property has undergone regular bedbug reporting since 2019, consistently showing zero infested units, and while there was one rodent inspection in 2018 that resulted in a failure, no subsequent rodent complaints have been recorded. The most recent maintenance issues, particularly the 2025 complaints regarding mold and cabinetry, indicate ongoing diligence from tenants to report and address building maintenance concerns.
